In the houses of the holy

To the middle of the mystic sea

At the cradle of the world



There's a black cat screaming

And it's not even midnight, no

At the cradle of the world



CHORUS:

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah



Now there's a cloud over heaven

And a pain out of paradise

In your corner of the world



Turn your back on the children

Does it feel like it's colder

In your corner of the world



CHORUS:

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, ...



Don't you let'em get away

Lock up the wolves before you play

Or it's over

Lock up the wolves

Don't you let'em get away

Don't you let'em get away



There's no back door to heaven

Just a front door to hell, oh

In this corner of the world



Now if you turn your back on the children

Don't you feel it getting colder

In your corner of the world



CHORUS:

They're screaming for sanctuary

They're screaming at you

Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, ...
