Raised by Wolves

They always told me
That there were two wolves inside me
And I can feel their hearts colliding
Pulling me down and off these cliffs
I feed them both with the hearts of those that wronged me
The feathers of our wings dividing
Defy the bear and fall to sleep
I'll be the defiant
Digging my fangs
Into the heart of God

My bones are breaking
These rocks seem so inviting
Like a mother's hands
Reaching to steal my suffering

I am the wolf
I was made to destroy
This path I take
That was never mine
I am the wolf
I was made to restore
This eternal wound
That won't heal with time

I stand alone
And I stand unbroken
'Cause I'm
One head, one heart
Can't tear them apart

Reality shifting
My courage is fleeting
Adorned with the mask of my prey
The world burns around me

And I've be singing old songs
Wondering why you never sang along
And I've be cutting teeth
Where I thought my freedom used to be
I wake from my dreams
That quietly let me

I'll rip through forests and I'll level mountains
I'll scar and scorch the earth forever more
Stars will abandon their own constellations
I'll shed this form and fall into the earth
Descendant to my inner darkness
As it awakens and the heavens burn
I rise to witness my world finally ending
Inside the hourglass the void takes turn

I am the wolf
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
I was made to destroy
This eternal wound
That won't heal with time
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
I am the wolf
