When Wolves Howl

(アルバム： Long Way Home - 2022)

In the thick of the thicket, where the briars are thickest
There's a wounded wolf licking his wounds from a whipping
He's been limping and listening to whispering thoughts
Thinking of making victims out of them cur dogs
They been smelling his wounds, trailing his track since noon
Yelping to let their helping hands know to attack soon
They assume that the fact that he's been quiet is cool, nah
But he's a wolf and it's a full moon (awoo)
The scars that mar his face don't compare to those underneath (nah)
He spent his darker days sharpening up his claws and teeth
Just waiting on the day when him and his foes meet
It ain't gon' go the way they think

You can listen as dogs bark
You can watch the bear growl
But whether it's daylight or dark
You better pay attention when wolves howl
'Cause them dogs bark and bears growl
Snakes hiss and cats prowl
But the woods shut down
When wolves howl
When wolves howl

He's an outcast, he's been that since he could breathe
His eyes wide and got blood on his cheeks
Ready to die but only for what he believes
He let so many snakes fly and he's tired of the slithering
It's time for the routine of lies and deceit
To fall flat on their face so rise to your feet
Bare witness to the underdog becoming a beast
The runt from the back is now in front and coming to feast
I know you've heard about the quiet type
That like to live their life in peace and don't disturb nobody
So I know you know what happens
When you decide to pick a fight with that kind
It's like unboxing a lit box of dynamite

You can listen as dogs bark
You can watch the bear growl
But whether it's daylight or dark
You better pay attention when wolves howl
'Cause them dogs bark and bears growl
Snakes hiss and cats prowl
But the woods shut down
When wolves howl
When wolves howl
