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
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
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
They're screaming for sanctuary
they're screaming at you
lock up the wolves
lock up the wolves,...
