Rise from the grave into a world I don't know Pieces of me are barely held together I've been so numb and blind for so long I barely recognize myself or even who I was My demons followed me from hell's fiery gates To pull me back into the flames They've come to take you from me They'll have to pry you from my cold, dead hands I tell them "Good luck with that" They are... Wolves at the gates, they won't go away No matter how hard or how heavy I pray Still, I pray to give me the strength I will... Burn every body that I left behind I am the shepherd of my own demise Look to the sky before you die Now I'll send you back to that pit you call home You can come and get me mother fucker You show me yours and then I'll show you mine I should have killed you, instead I spared you But you never learned and now your ass is mine Should I surrender my fate? Or should I stand for who I am? This path was laid before me They are... Wolves at the gates, they won't go away No matter how hard or how heavy I pray Still, I pray to give me the strength I will... Wolves at the gates, they won't go away No matter how hard or how heavy I pray Still, I pray to give me the strength I will remain Every time I stand up and I look back and you're there Count every test that I've failed Should I be doomed to make the same mistakes I am the one who remains They are... Wolves at the gates, they won't go away No matter how hard or how heavy I pray Still, I pray to give me the strength I will... Wolves at the gates, they won't go away No matter how hard or how heavy I pray Still, I pray to give me the strength I will remain I will I will Wolves at the gates, with blood on their teeth They savor the meal that they'll make out of me Still, I pray I will...
