Lock Up the Wolves
In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world
Mmm-hmm, yeah
There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world
They're screaming sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world
Ah, turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world?
They're screaming sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let them get away
Lock up the wolves before you play, or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Now don't you let them get away
Don't let them get away
There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell
Oh-oh, in this corner of the world
Now if you turn your back on the children
Well, you'll feel it getting colder
Ah, in your corner of the world
They're screaming sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Help
Lock up the wolves, yeah
Lock up the wolves, lock 'em up
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world
Mmm-hmm, yeah
There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world
They're screaming sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world
Ah, turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world?
They're screaming sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let them get away
Lock up the wolves before you play, or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Now don't you let them get away
Don't let them get away
There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell
Oh-oh, in this corner of the world
Now if you turn your back on the children
Well, you'll feel it getting colder
Ah, in your corner of the world
They're screaming sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Help
Lock up the wolves, yeah
Lock up the wolves, lock 'em up
