Lyrics:
Here Come the Wolves
They're coming with their torches, they're coming with their verse
They're coming with a single glassy eye
Into the echo chamber
A crowd begins to form
So crowded you can't even see the sky

Here Come the Wolves
They're coming for your children
They're coming for your rights
They're coming with their Jesus and their goons
And then the shore will wither
And then the roads will pitch
Sound the drum, for they are coming soon

Here Come the Wolves
He is a wild pony, she is a wild horse
Together they will race to stem the tide
Into the hidden caverns
Into the sunken hills
Unplug the world and follow us inside

Wires needled under skin
Connect to Mothership
Treadmill living makes us strong
We're healthy but we're sick
Here Come the Wolves

Beauty born in poverty
Dreams die on the hill
From our knees, yes pretty please
Administer the pill
Feed our master, feed him faster
Work, then drink, then sleep
When I'm done, lost and numb
Begin me another week.

Here Come the Wolves

In the evening I'm tired of walking, I go down to the river and I think about nothing
I sit down and I try to figure why I followed myself down here
There were times when things were better and times when things were worse
In the evening I'm tired of working, I go down to the river and I think about nothing

I was thinking on the back of a stone, I was thinking 'bout leaving, I was thinking 'bout home
I think of you when I wanna remember what it felt like to be free
Deep in the valley, up the mountain, beyond the river clear
In the evening I'm tired of working, I go down to the river and I think about nothing

Here Come the Wolves
