Lone Wolf Lyrics

When the lone wolf was a young boy

He went outside into the trees to play

A sharp pain and his world began to change

At once he felt the passion

And the overwhelming shame

And with the moon they became one and the same

Once upon every fortnight

The lone wolf has dreams where he runs and runs

And he's free until the rise of the morning sun

But every time he wakes

The relief and adrenaline fades

And his naked fear and shame stings like a blade

And after the dreams have settled

The lone wolf looks up to the moon

And he kneels and he prays

What can you do when you can't run from your fears?

How do you feel when you're forced to hide your tears?

Can you tell me how to exist with the monster you conceal?

And how do you live when you won't dare to reveal?

What's inside?

Inside

How do you hide what's inside?

Inside

The lone wolf has a companion

And the two are as close as Abel and Cain

But his secret still stays shrouded with disdain

The lone wolf longs for freedom

So out the truth would come

Yet Cain, he fears contagion and turns to run

And from Cain's lips

A silver word like daggers through the skin

He says, should I be my brother's keeper when he walks with sin?

Then the companion made a choice

Between the monster and the end

So he greeted death as if he were an old friend

And after the blood has settled

The lone wolf looks up to the moon

And he sobs and he prays

Where do you go when the entire world wants you gone?

How can you see in the light

When the dark and the bitter was your home?

Can you tell me how to resist

When you bite back the freedom to its heels?

How do you live when you can't bear to feel?

What's inside?

Inside

How do you see what's inside?

Inside

The lone wolf gathers in a circle to pray

To the one who never heard him

The others mourn their losses and share their sorrow and pain

He stays solemn and silent, through their hymns of violence

Because empathy here is just a one-track train

For once the wolf starts howling

His unheard voice sparks ignorance and rage

And the demons from within spring from their cage

Hark, an Exodus of Biblical proportions

And like Adam, he hides from God with shame

And after the carnage has settled

The lone wolf looks up to the moon

And he weeps and he

And I

Where do I hide from the moon and her soldiers and their smite?

And how do I love when I sever connection with a bite?

When can I give in to the shame that I feel through a mirror's eye?

And how do I live when the rejection makes me wanna die?

From what's inside

Inside

How do I kill what's inside?

Inside

Moonlit walks down the damned path of the lonely

Of the lonely

No, no direction

No protection from the light that threatens to control me

Maybe I should just give in and let it out and howl into the night

Because I'm the bane of the heartless

And I'll be unloved regardless

So why can't I just let the fear burn bright?

And just run, run away

Run, run away

Free

Free

Free

The lone wolf is wandering and receives an invitation to a bonfire

And he goes in search of the connection he desires

And he's again in a circle

A story ready to reveal

And maybe, just maybe, he can unseal

What's inside?

How do I start to love what's inside?

Inside
