The Wolves Are Returning

This is a warning
The wolves have returned
Their numbers are growing
They are on the hunt
Be vigilant

The wolves are returning
They're on the rise again
We've opened up the door
And now we've let them in
We've lost before we started
Hatred on our sides
When history repeats
Must we take it on our stride?

Nothing is certain
In this darkened world
We struggle to escape
As the centre falls away
Dust to ashes
No hiding place
We're feeling the fear
Nothing is clear

The wolves are returning
They're on the hunt again
In the wind they're howling
Claiming their terrain
Ever getting closer
Ever coming near
Are you feeling nervous?
Has kindness disappeared?

Staying connected
Gets harder and harder
Beaten, rejected
In a boat with no harbour
Feels like I'm drownin'
With no safety vest
On a tide with no wave
And east with no west

The wolves are returning
They're on the rise again
We opened up the door
And know we let them in
We've lost before we started
Hatred on our sides
When history repeats
Must we take it in our stride?

Every storm a rainbow
Every tear a smile
Is it too late do do something?
Or too late to reconcile?

Instead of doing nothing
Should have done something
Scared of doing something
Instead of it, nothing
Instead of doing nothing
Should have done something
Scared of doing something
And yet, you chose to look away
You chose to look away

The wolves are returning
They're on the rise again
We've opened up the door
And now we let them in
We've lost before we started
Hatred on our sides
When history repeats
Must we take it in our stride?

The wolves are returning
They're on the hunt again
In the wind they're howling
Claiming their terrain
Ever getting closer
Ever coming near
Are you feeling nervous?
Has kindness disappeared?

The wolves are returning
In the wind they're howling
Ever getting closer
Are you feeling nervous?
