Tiempos de Lobos

My body was shaking
Yours was still
Hordes are closing in
There’s little light left

The street is a river
Reflecting a blood moon
You ask if we’re alone
And I can’t find the words to reply

But these are times of wolves
And we can’t just leave
These are times of wolves
And we didn’t want to run

I melt into your embrace
I give you a sign
One looks me in the eyes
It’s not a real wolf

I thought of the stars and the seas
And then of earthly evil
Hatred disguised, disguised
In the skin of a beautiful beast

Because these are times of wolves
And we can’t just leave
These are times of wolves
And we didn’t want to run

(You could have left, but you chose to stay)
(You could have walked away, and you chose to fight)

The wolves devoured you
You couldn’t escape
The wolves ripped you apart
And what did I do? I hid
And now I can’t forgive myself
Seeing you dragged down here
I’m brutally alone
Only beasts surround me
I see death in their eyes
And I want to merge with you

Because these are times of wolves
And we can’t just leave
These are times of wolves
And we didn’t want to run
