When The Lambs Became The Wolves – Aurelio Voltaire
By
When I was a little lamb, I played in the meadows With fellow lambs just like a lamb should Our hearts, they were light and our moods, they were mellow Lest we heard howls, the howls from the woods
Late one night as we offed the light And we laid our heads to sleep In from the night came a harrowing sight And it had an appetite for sheep Well, the lambs, they were terrified But there in their widened eyes Suddenly I saw a change And they’ve never ever been the same They bit his face, they ate his heart They tore that wolf apart And the blood, oh the blood, oh the blood Oh, the blood, it flowed
Now, I’m lying in my pen And I try to get some sleep But I’m thinking of the lambs And their bloody awful teeth They’re not acting as they should And now have claws instead of hooves And I wonder if it’s safe to sleep ‘Cause the lambs, the lambs became the wolves Yeah, the lambs, the lambs became the wolves
In these days, through a gloomy haze We launch another ardent sweep We say we’re hunting wolves But they’re mostly wearing wool ‘Cause some of them are fellow sheep See, the risk of combating monsters Is the risk of becoming monsters In this game of us or them Will we ever be the same again? But, what really breaks my heart Is when we tear ourselves apart ‘Cause the blood that we love Is the blood flowing from our own
Now, I’m lying in my pen And I try to get some sleep But I’m thinking of the lambs And their bloody awful teeth They’re not acting as they should And now have claws instead of hooves And I wonder if it’s safe to sleep ‘Cause the lambs, the lambs became the wolves Yeah, the lambs, the lambs became the wolves
Now, I’m lying in my pen And I try to get some sleep But I’m thinking of the lambs And their bloody awful teeth They’re not acting as they should And now have claws instead of hooves And I wonder if it’s safe to sleep ‘Cause the lambs, the lambs became the wolves ‘Cause, the lambs, the lambs became the wolves When the lambs, the lambs became the wolves When the lambs, the lambs became the wolves
