Lyrics
Light all 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 don't go A place that 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 I am ready to explode Like a tiger in a circus Cracking whips are all I know I'm searching for a sense of purpose"

We are the wolves at the gate Our numbers growing every day, yeah You can't fight us all, no No, you can't fight We are the wolves at the wall We break in like a waterfall, yeah You can't fight us all, 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 gate Our numbers growing every day, yeah You can't fight us all, no You can't fight We are the wolves at the wall We break in like a waterfall, yeah You can't fight us all, no And we are not going away

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
