Autumn In Suburbia - The Wolf Lyrics

The commandments their were ten
Then twenty, then forty
It never ended, was never enough
Rules to live by, words to die for
Ashes to ash, and dust to dust
Open your eyes, and see through the lies
Put on this crown of thorns
Your savior is watching, so put on your disguise
Don't reveal what's underneath

I prayed to God my soul to keep
I laid it down but got no sleep
Those eyes were always watching me
And if I die before I wake
I'll know what's really been at stake
Those eyes that are always watching me
Or so I believed
The wolf kills the sheep

I threw words to the ceiling
They bounced back, and hit me
Never changed what was on my mind
I sat in the silence
Appeared as a nihilist
Couldn't understand what I did wrong
The more I spoke the more it hurt
The more I asked was more unheard
These words I knew began to burn
These words I knew a lesson to unlearn
A lesson to unlearn

I prayed to God my soul to keep
I laid it down but got no sleep
Those eyes were always watching me
And if I die before I wake
I'll know what's really been at stake
Those eyes that are always watching me

I prayed to God my soul to keep
I laid it down but got no sleep
Those eyes were always watching me
And if I die before I wake
I'll know what's really been at stake
Those eyes that are always watching me

Or so I believed
The wolf kills the sheep

The wolf kills the sheep
