[Verse 1]
In this world, I learned the law
Only wolves and sheep, I saw
You can smell fear on a soft-spun coat
When the night gets close, it picks at the throat
I was made for the line in the sand
Mud on my boots, blade in my hand
If I bare my teeth, I do it for you
Keep my eye on the fence, keep my nose to the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
So if the dark comes creeping near
Hear my growl through the fear
I don’t run, I don’t fold
I stand my ground, I take the cold
[Chorus]
Be the wolf, be the wolf
For God needs fangs
Guard the flock, guard the flock
When the black night hangs
Be the wolf, be the wolf
With a holy bite
I keep watch, I keep watch
Till the morning light
[Verse 2]
I know the field, I know the signs
Broken locks and hungry eyes
A quiet step by the cedar gate
A false smile dressed up as fate
But I learned how to fight with a prayer in my chest
How to stay on alert, how to never get pressed
If they want your peace, they’ll have to come through me
I’m a dog for the King, I’m a blade in the plea
[Pre-Chorus]
So if the dark comes creeping near
Hear my growl through the fear
I don’t run, I don’t fold
I stand my ground, I take the cold
[Chorus]
Be the wolf, be the wolf
For God needs fangs
Guard the flock, guard the flock
When the black night hangs
Be the wolf, be the wolf
With a holy bite
I keep watch, I keep watch
Till the morning light
[Bridge]
I was once the one they called wild
Now I move like a shepherd’s child
Still got teeth, still got fire
But it all bows down to a higher
[Chorus]
Be the wolf, be the wolf
For God needs fangs
Guard the flock, guard the flock
When the black night hangs
Be the wolf, be the wolf
With a holy bite
I keep watch, I keep watch
Till the morning light
