The Wolves - Pharaoh

Call her your queen

And lay a bed of roses at her feet

Court the obscene

And lay with the swine

Her pledges and promises

Naked lies that beg your own decline

See no wrong in this

You’re drunk on her venomous wine

Poison fills your cup

And when your mouth starts to foam

You trust that you’re rightly riled

Frothing bile

Yank the leash, command it to comply

The Wolves are coming

Raise the whip and dare it to defy

The Wolves are coming

You thought you raised a dog, and wonder why

The wolf has bloodlust in his eyes

You’re the trembling prey

Wolves will not obey

Slave in the mines

And praise your masters' magnanimity

Die for his diamonds

And groan for his gold

Unguarded and tame

Broken by the hypnotizing hold

Think you’re high from the flames

But you’re feverish out in the cold

Your life is cheaply sold

And then when the coal runs out

And the mountains are stripped and bare

Where’s your share?

Yank the leash, command it to comply

The Wolves are coming

Raise the whip and dare it to defy

The Wolves are coming

You thought you raised a dog, and wonder why

The wolf has bloodlust in his eyes

You’re the trembling prey

Wolves will not obey

Hacking and lame

Deny yourself the wanted medicine

The mark in a game

That you think you control

Wager with your soul

And so you howl with the wolves

But the scent on the wind is yours

The bloody track is yours

Yank the leash, command it to comply

The Wolves are coming

Raise the whip and dare it to defy

The Wolves are coming

You thought you raised a dog, and wonder why

The wolf has bloodlust in his eyes

You’re the trembling prey

Wolves will not obey
