WOLVES AT THE GATE LYRICS

1. The Cure

I can taste the misery
Spitting out the remedy
All I've been through, all that I've seen
These eyes, this heart still can't dispel the lies

I don't know if I can feel it
Floating downward, fading slowly
Static message, cryptic signals
Cataracts can't see things clearly

Divide the cure from the poison and misery
Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me

Take it all as I stumble and lose control
I was chasing nothing
Take it all, all the torment inside my soul
Watch it fade to nothing...

Scales begin to fall from my eyes
Floating downward, fading slowly
Vibrant message, glaring signals
Brilliant light shines piercing through me

Divide the cure from the poison and misery
Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me
Divide the cure from the poison and misery
Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me

Sever the ties that have filled me with doubt
Wring out this heart make it bleed out the curse that's plaguing my eyes
Gasping to catch my breath, I feel the poison dissolving
Filled with the remedy, I once cast aside

Take it all as I stumble and lose control
I was chasing nothing
Take it all, all the torment inside my soul
Watch it fade to nothing...

Chasing nothing!

Filled with the remedy, I'm gaining clarity
Oh God, destroy what poisons me
Destroy what poisons me

2. Face to Face

Walk with me and follow close and you will start to feel
The chilling grip of hollow lies and what is truly real
Hear the echoes
Face to face with distant fears that I had thought were numb
They clip my heel and bring to light what I have become
Echoes
Everything I fear

Listen closely, every seed must die before
Die before it can grow
Sinking slowly, to be planted in the dust
Long before it can grow

A sickness spread across my limbs, I'm planted in the dust
Long before it can grow
A sickness spread across my limbs, I'm covered head to toe
Here I'm standing face to face
A sight I cannot bear
I'm clawing and scratching to turn from what I see
The chilling grip of all my lies and what is truly real
I can hardly hear

Listen closely, every seed must die before
Die before it can grow
Sinking slowly, to be planted in the dust
Long before it can grow

It's darkening and fading out
Darkening, fading out!

Standing at the great divide
I fell into the ground and died
The taste of death was bittersweet
I fell into the ground and died
But death made me alive

Listen closely, every seed must die before
Die before it can grow
Sinking to slowly, to be planted in the dust
Long before we can grow

3. A Voice in the Violence

Tell me I'm yours
Tell me I'm not alone
Falling apart in this silence alone
Tell me I'm yours...
Tell me I'm not alone!

I see the night slipping over
It crawls along coming closer
I feel the lies pull me under
I hear your voice like it's thunder

You're falling in love with the silence
It's telling you all that you want to hear
You're falling in love with the violence
It's telling you all that you want to hear

I crept along in the shadows
I drowned the guilt in the shallows
It's buried now, covered in doubt
I hear your voice
Tell me I'm not alone

You're falling in love with the silence
It's telling you all that you want to hear
You're falling in love with the violence
It's telling you all that you want to hear

(I'm all alone
Tell me I'm not alone)

Tell me I'm yours
Tell me I'm not alone
Tell me that I'm not alone in this world
Tell me I'm not...

I drowned out your voice
And hardened my heart to stone
I filled all my voids
But opened my wounds
The pain digs in deeper and deeper

I filled all the voids
But opened my wounds
The pain digs in deeper and deeper

A voice cut its way through the silence
Telling me of love that is sincere
You quiet my heart from the violence

You're falling in love with the silence
It's telling you all that you want to hear
You're falling in love with the violence
It's telling you all that you want to hear
Forgiveness despite my defiance
Telling me of love that is sincere
Forgiveness despite my defiance
Telling me of love that is sincere

4. Drifter

A perilous load is resting on my back and
A merciless road is what is set before me
A terrible path is mine to walk and mine alone
Mine to walk alone

Don't worry anymore
I'll do this on my own
Don't worry anymore
I'll walk this path alone

All I know is I'm missing the signs, buying my time
Eventually I know I'll fall below and drift out of line
Drifting away
Imprisoned in my mind

I stagger along this wretched path I've wandered
Reopening wounds that are familiar to me
The sirens are calling me but I can't look away
I can't look away

It's tearing me apart
I knew it from the start
It's tearing me apart
It's ripping out my heart

All I know is I'm missing the signs, buying my time
Eventually I know I'll fall below and drift out of line
Drifting away
Imprisoned in my mind

The voices roar, tormenting all my dreams
They mock and they roar
Exposing history
What good has come from them but suffering and pain?
My misery will die with them tonight

It's tearing me apart
I knew it from the start
It's tearing me apart
It's ripping out my heart

All I know is I'm missing the signs, buying my time
Eventually I know I'll fall below and drift out of line
Drifting away
Imprisoned in my mind

There's nothing left I'm done with all this pain!
I'm yours to save so help me find my way
Fall below and drift out of line
Drifting away
I'm yours to save

5. Enemy

I've got a new enemy, but is it you is it me?
I've got a feeling that all I fear has come for me
I can't wait 'til I see it coming, I will face it alone

I've got a new enemy, but is it you is it me?
You know it's starting to look and sound a lot like me
I can see that it's coming closer
Listen close and you'll hear it whisper
I'm coming for you now

Can you see it? Or will you hear it?
The silhouette of my enemy
Can you feel it? Or will you know it?
I've got a feeling it's come for me

I've got an old enemy, but I think it's just me
I find it hard to believe the facts, the irony
All the lies that I held so dearly
Gouge my eyes so I can't see clearly
Gripped my throat and they nearly killed me
I can't face it alone

Can you see it? Or will you hear it?
The silhouette of my enemy
Can you feel it? Or will you know it?
I've got a feeling it's come for me

I'm lost now, find me!
All along I was my enemy

I couldn't see it, I couldn't hear it
The silhouette of my enemy
I couldn't feel it, I didn't know it
That I alone was the enemy

Can you see it? Or will you hear it?
The silhouette of my enemy
Can you feel it? Or will you know it?
I've got a feeling it's come for me
Break me out of this warfare waging alone
I can't escape
Break me out of this warfare waging alone
I can't escape

6. Evil are the Kings

We just don't care
I think that we all know, we're well aware
Swallowed in shadows but still don't care
I think that we all know, we're well aware
There's no self-repair

Tell me it isn't true, these cries are ruthless
And "hatred without a cause" a just illusion
Nations all rage against, though it's useless
But are we that much different?
It's a delusion

If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings we are
If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings we are

Listen and hear the truth, we drown in patience
While anchored to our hatred, we're sinking deeper
Resisting the hand to save, we turn to violence
With armor of apathy we're getting weaker

If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings we are
If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings we are

How long will we fight the beauty in all the light?
How long 'til we find our way through the night?

We just don't care
I thing that we all know we're well aware
Swallowed in shadows but still don't care
I think that we all know we're well aware
There's no self-repair

Tell me it isn't true, hatred without a cause
Tell me all isn't lost, we're fighting without any cause

If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings we are
If knowledge is the power then evil are the kings we are

7. Eclipse

The truth of my lies is tearing up these eyes because the fire is gone
To wash off this stain I would have to burn it all and start it again
If I fall away will I ever see Your face? Is it much too late?
Have I gone too far? Am I on the narrow road?

I've worn out a path, a path that leads to death
And I darkened my eyes
Cold to Your love, am I inscribed upon Your hands? Am I known at all?

If I fall away will I ever see Your face? Is it much too late?
Have I gone too far? Am I on the narrow road that leads to home?

I'm falling beneath You, I'm calling to take me home
I'm falling beneath You, I'm calling to take me home
I'm falling beneath You, I'm calling to take me home
I'm falling beneath You, I'm calling to take me home

Though I fall away, it is then I find more grace
Though I'm desolate
Though I've gone too far, far beyond the narrow road
You lead me home

It is then I find more grace
Though I'm desolate
Far beyond the narrow road
You lead me home
Though I fall away, it is then I find more grace

8. Response

Will you believe?
Will you receive?
Will you believe?
Will you receive?

Will you believe? Or just count it all as vain?
Will you believe? Or just write it off
Count it all as waste? Will you believe?

I'm not selling you lies, just a beggar who has found favor
Show me what you despise, a selfless Savior?

You find a lot of fault in me
I find it hard to disagree with you
I'll own my crimes
My guilt has shut my mouth

Will you believe?
Will you believe the words I say?
Will you receive?
Will you receive this faithful truth?
I'm not tricking you, I'm not selling truth
I just want you to hear of this matchless love!

I'm not selling you lies, just a beggar who has found favor
Show me what you despise, a selfless Savior?
Will you believe? Or just count it all as vain?
Will you believe? Or just write it off
Count it all as waste? Will you believe?

What is the fault you find in Him?
To come and cure the desperate sin-sick and pay their crimes
Is there a greater love?

Will you believe?
Will you believe the words I say?
Will you receive?
Will you receive this faithful truth?
I'm not tricking you, I'm not selling truth
I just want you to know of this perfect love!
I'm not tricking you, I'm not selling truth
I just want you to know of this perfect love!

I'm not selling you lies, just a beggar who has found favor
Show me what you despise, a selfless Savior?
Will you believe? Or just count all as vain?
Will you believe? Or just write it off
Count it all as waste? Will you believe?

9. History

We're fighting for our lives
What we deserve is nothing
Which one of us survives?
I fear that history repeats itself
The history repeats itself

We haven't found the shame that ties us to our name
(Are we bound? Are we free?)
The terrors of the past are not long forgotten when history repeats itself
The errors have amassed, they're spoiled, they're rotten
When history repeats itself

We're fighting for our lives
What we deserve is nothing
Which one of us survives?
Will we be free?
Is it the hate that dies, or just another victim?
Which one of us survives?
Will we be free?

We haven't found the shame that binds us to our name
When the colors that we choose make us pawns in a game
There's no one else to blame
(Are we bound? Are we free?)
The terrors of the past are not long forgotten when history repeats itself
The errors have amassed, they're spoiled, they're rotten
Prove a war is still waging

We're fighting for our lives
What we deserve is nothing
Which one of us survives?
Will we be free?
Is it the hate that dies, or just another victim?
Which one of us survives?
Will we be free?

Suddenly we're drowning on these tepid seas
We are so indifferent
Do we all believe that we're finally free?
Free?
The history repeats itself

Are we all alone now on these trepid seas?
Do we all believe that we're finally free?

10. The Sea in Between

Will you carry me across and redeem what I have lost?
What I lost!

Divided, as the sea becomes my war
Surrounded, and I'm swallowed in its roar
Sinking down below to the ocean's floor
Lost, forsaken it spits me back out to shore
Every time I navigate these seas, I am left with nothing

Still You carry me across
You carried me across
And You suffer all my loss
You suffered what I caused

The horizon paints a ghostly sight as the vessel billows in the night
The waters taunt me to return as they toss and scatter the ship they've
torn
Wreckage in the sea sings my eulogy
Overcome by the scene that's in front of me
Every time I navigate these seas, I am left with nothing

Still You carry me across
You carried me across
And You suffer all my loss
You suffered what I caused

Wreckage in the sea sings my eulogy
Overcome by the scene that's in front of me
Every time I navigate these seas, I am left with nothing

I've filled up this sea and created its divide
Every drop of its curse is the wall I've fortified
I will accept my death for it is warranted and true
But I cannot come to grips with separation from You

Still You carry me across
You carried me across
And You suffer all my loss
You suffered what I caused

Still You carried me and You suffer all my loss
You suffered all my loss

You lift me up above the sea and carried me through the dross
The waves they crashed upon Your frame, You suffered all my loss
This rescue came with suffering completely at Your cost
It tore your body through and through but You brought me safe across

11. Alone

Alone
Face the truth of what will soon transpire
The time elapsed is going to expire
All alone we hurtle towards the sun
The beauty and the terror has begun
Flames swallow the night

Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty
Shutting your eyes to darken won't help it, eventually we'll see
Steady your legs and brace yourself because there's nowhere to run
Ready or not we all will now see that we're heading for the sun
Alone

Trace the warmth, begin to feel the fire
Fading in my hands it all expires
Desperate for release the crowd divides
The panic and peace start to collide

Flames swallow the night
Comfort from the light
It burns eternally

Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty
Shutting your eyes to darken won't help it, eventually we'll see
Steady your legs and brace yourself because there's nowhere to run
Ready or not we all will now see that we're heading for the sun

Embracing forever, surely the comfort all of the beggars have now come to know
The face of forever burning on our hearts, burning on our hearts
Alone

Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty
Shutting your eyes to darken won't help it, eventually we'll see
Steady your legs and brace yourself because there's nowhere to run
Ready or not we all will now see that we're heading for the sun

Embracing forever, surely the comfort all of the beggars have now come to know
The face of forever burning on our hearts, burning on our hearts

12. Counterfeit

I won't believe a single word no matter what you say
You won't make me into your pawn or now become your prey

You speak of peace but the house is burning
It's burning down
Put iodine in the well we're drinking
It's poisoning

I don't believe we fell for your masquerade
You won't make me into your pawn
(We won't believe)

I've caught the beat and rhythm of the shallow words you say
It's all just lies you're hiding so we don't see your decay
It's all just lies and vanity falling from your mouth

(We won't believe)

It's all just vanity and lies from your mouth
It's all insanity disguised
You tell us truth is the path we've chosen
It's treachery
Infect the youth with the truth you've woven
It's villany

I see right through your careful worded charade
You won't make me into your pawn
(We won't believe)

I've caught the beat and rhythm of the shallow words you say
It's all just lies you're hiding so we don't see your decay
It's all just lies and vanity falling from your mouth

(We won't believe)

I've caught the beat and rhythm of the shallow words you say
It's all just lies you're hiding so we don't see your decay
I've caught the beat and rhythm of the shallow words you say
It's all just lies you're hiding so we don't see your decay
It's all just lies and vanity falling from your mouth

13. Blessings & Curses

I know I've shocked and stormed the heavens
I fear betrayal lives and flows in my blood
I can't kill the curse or claim the blessing
Living in death and shame

How many songs of my betrayal
Will I have sung before it's fatal?
Though all my words are weak and tired
Your love still blossoms like a fire

My betrayal
Is it fatal?
Weak and tired
Feel the fire

I know I cannot reach the heavens
Wearing a harlot's heart, cursing Your name
But You take the curse, give me the blessing
Bearing my death and shame

I feel it burning like a fire
O' Love that will not let me go
I feel it burning like a fire
O' Love that will not let me go

How many songs of my betrayal?
(Feel it burning like a fire)
Will I have sung before it's fatal?
(Won't let me go)
Though all my words are weak and tired
(Feel it burning like a fire)
Your love still blossoms like a fire
(Won't let me go)
O' Love that reaches from the heavens
To wretched, rebel hearts lost and alone
You took my curse – gave me Your blessing
Giving me hope in death
