Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Some crippling dream

I know whose fault it is, I know it isn't me

The wolf is free

I want to chase him down and drown him in the sea

The innocents flock like sheep

Their efforts all in vain, the wolf is back again

I hope he comes for me

I'm not out running him, and I'm not gonna scream

I'm gonna follow him

I know his name

I know his name

The wolf is free

His eyes are narrowing, it is a scary thing

And some fears run deep

There is a change in him, there is a change in me

I'll put you to sleep, my fingers through your hair Into your skin they'll be

Ten fingernails deep, and I won't let you go

You will not bury me
