Orange Goblin – The Wolf Bites Back lyrics

By night
The predators arise
Intent
In treason in their eyes

Your weak
Succumb to our disease
What we seek
A ritual release

For their feast

[Chorus (second half)]

Irrational
In your belief
Upholder of the lord becomes a petty thief

Who prays for you
When we attack?
With fire and a fury
The wolf bites back

A steel
That slices through the night
We bleed
And the wounded rise to fight

We howl!
Our legacy is war
You run!
Now the wolf is at your door

Evermore!

[Chorus]

You prayed for faith
They gave you sin
Below you always feel the pack is closing in

The race is run
Your time is through
Like lambs up to the slaughter

Irrational
In your belief
Upholder of the lord becomes a petty thief

Who prays for you
When we attack?
With fire and a fury
The wolf bites back

[Guitar solo beginning]

The wolf bites back!
The wolf bites back, yeah!
The wolf bites back!

[Guitar solo ending]

The night
Recedes and turns to dust
The blades
Of vengeance start to rust

The weak
Will fall and fade to gray
But the wolf
Will fight another day!

And you pray!

[Chorus]

You prayed for faith
They gave you sin
Below you always feel the pack is closing in

The race is run
Your time is through
Like lambs up to the slaughter

Irrational
In your belief
Upholder of the lord becomes a petty thief

Who prays for you
When we attack?
With fire and a fury
The wolf bites back
The wolf bites back
The wolf bites back!
