Lyrics Rise Against

Rise Against

Wolves

Light up the torches and wake up the King

The smoke you’ve ignored is a flame you can’t contain

We circle the walls and claw at the dirt

We growl from our guts and howl until it hurts

I told her come with me

And I can take you from this place now

Somewhere these roads all go

Someplace so we can start again

I grabbed her hand and pulled her close

She looked at me and said

“Hey I don’t even know

Your name”

“But are you ready to explode?

Like a tiger in a circus?

Cracking whips are all I know

And searching for a sense of purpose”

We are the wolves at the gates

Our numbers growing every day, now

But you can’t fight us alone no

No, you can’t fight

We are the wolves at the wall

We break in like a waterfall, yeah

But you can’t fight us alone no

No you can’t fight

The water is breaching the walls of the dam

Trampling dreams in a rush to higher land

Are you ready to explode

Like a tiger in a circus?

This cage is all I've ever known

But now you’ve given me a purpose

We are the wolves at the gates

Our numbers growing every day, now

But you can’t fight us alone no

No, you can’t fight

We are the wolves at the wall

We break in like a waterfall, yeah

But you can’t fight us alone no

We are the

We are the....

Roaming in numbers

And chasing the scent

Circling in for the kill

And you are the winter

The long discontent

We won’t stop till we’ve had our fill

(We are the wolves)

Roaming in numbers and chasing the scent

(We are the wolves)

Circling in for the kill

(We are the wolves)

And you are the winter, the long discontent

(We are the wolves)

We won’t stop till we’ve had our fill

We are the wolves!

We are the wolves!

We are the wolves!
