Lock Up the Wolves

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] In the houses of the holy To the middle of the mystic sea At the cradle of the world There's a black cat screaming And it's not even midnight, no At the cradle of the world [Chorus] They're screaming for sanctuary They're screaming at you Lock up the wolves Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Now there's a cloud over heaven And a pain out of paradise In your corner of the world Turn your back on the children Does it feel like it's colder In your corner of the world [Chorus] They're screaming for sanctuary They're screaming at you Lock up the wolves Lock up the wolves Lock up the wolves [Bridge] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] There's no back door to heaven Just a front door to hell In this corner of the world Now if you turn your back on the children Well, you'll feel it getting colder In your corner of the world [Chorus] They're screaming for sanctuary They're screaming at you, oh Lock up the wolves, yeah Lock up the wolves, lock them up [Instrumental Outro]
