In the light of the day
You can hear the old ones say
Was the sound last night the wind?
Can you feel the change begin?

By the fall of the snow
A single soul will go
The footsteps on the white
There’s an unholy light

There’s a hole in the sky
Something evil’s passing by
What’s to come – when the siren calls you go
To run with the wolf

When the world makes a turn
The eyes of one will learn
That a sound just like the wind
Only makes the change begin

By the end of the rain
The feelings passed again
From things that snap and bite
An unholy light

There’s a hole in the sky
Something evil’s passing by
What’s to come – when the siren calls you go
To run with the wolf

There’s a break in the ground
Like the swirling water’s angry as they pull you down

When the siren calls you go, yeah
To run with the wolf
Run with the wolf

There’s a hole in the sky
Something evil is passing by
What’s to come – when the siren calls you go, yeah
To run with the wolf
Run with the wolf

Like a beast in a field
He knows his fate is sealed
He runs with the wolf, oh oooh

Run with the wolf

See the break, you know it’s the same(?)
Now he goes
To run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
Run, run, run
Now we go run, run, run, run
Run with the wolf
All right
Run with the wolf
Run with the wolf
