The Wolves Are Back in Town - Soilwork

Was it just a subliminal death threat

When you said that the ending was near?

Was it part of your criminal mindset

To appease the celestial sphere?

Was it death as an everyday phenomenon

That all is passing like the clouds?

Would you meet me

At the Gates of Parthenon

To relinquish every doubt?

And if you were on my side

Would you leave me to decide?

Will it change this time around

When the wolves are back in town?

Though the times I spent with you

Took me further from the truth

I still hoped you’d be around

When the wolves are back in town

And so you say

There’s an end to the carnage

But no end to the fear

Now your sympathies are clear

There’s a cloud of death around you

And a halo of despair

And the plague you brought is dying

To infect the midnight air

There’s a cloud of death around you

And a halo of despair

Though it took so long to find you

You could have me anywhere

And if you were on my side

Would you leave me to decide?

Will it change this time around

When the wolves are back in town?

Though the times I spent with you

Took me further from the truth

I still hoped you’d be around

When the wolves are back in

There’s a cloud of death around you

And a halo of despair

And the plague you brought is dying

To infect the midnight air

There’s a cloud of death around you

And a halo of despair

Though it took so long to find you

You could have me anywhere

And if you were on my side

Would you leave me to decide?

Will it change this time around

When the wolves are back in town?

Though the times I spent with you

Took me further from the truth

I still hoped you’d be around

When the wolves are back in town
