Lyrics

The Hungry Wolf

I am the hungry wolf

And run endlessly with my mate

I see the gutter feed on the foolish

Outrun and kill the strong

At daybreak I roam

Awake to who follows me

I roam, I roam

I am the hungry wolf

And run endlessly with my mate

Welcome to the dripping jaws

The alter of your death

At daybreak I roam

Ready to tear up the world

I roam, I roam

The hungry wolf

Stares from the hill

At the villagers around the fire

She loves her mate

As he loves her

And they live together for life

I am the hungry wolf

And run endlessly with my mate

Look across the street, my friend

We're waiting for you to slow down

At daybreak I roam

Eyes in the back of my head

I roam, I roam

The hungry wolf

Stares from the hill

At the villagers around the fire

She loves her mate

As he loves her

And they live together for life

I am the hungry wolf

And run endlessly with my mate

I see the gutter feed on the foolish

Outrun and kill the strong

At daybreak I roam

Ready to tear up the world

I roam, I roam
