Wolf at the Door

[Chorus]
Hear the wolf at the door
Claws scratching the paint
See his breath on the glass
Snout pressed to the pane

Who's teaching the class?
Every lesson in vain
It ain't safe no more
There's no getting away

Seen Heaven and Hell
Felt pleasure and pain
Lies we tell to ourselves
We can never explain
Snakes talking with forked tongue
Mention my name
Who's out in the cold?
Who's left in the rain?

[Verse 1]
Trying hard to embody the projected image
Dealing with philosophy and metaphysics
I heard so many claim to be the best who ever did it
My main concern is how the heck I'm meant to make a living
My rhyme's timeless
Mumm-Ra, everliving
I fight tooth and nail to the finish, never give in
I'm an intrepid explorer on an expedition
Digging for them artefacts to bring them back for exhibition

What's the meaning of life?
What's your definition?
What's the end goal, brother?
What's your [?]
15 minutes with your face up on that television?
Shout as loud as you like
But they don't ever listen
With no ink in my pen now
I'm drying out
No tears, dry your eyes
No crying now
No justice, no peace
I ain't lying down
Stand up, fight for your freedom, blud
The time is now

[Chorus]
Hear the wolf at the door
Claws scratching the paint
See his breath on the glass
Snout pressed to the pane

Who's teaching the class?
Every lesson in vain
It ain't safe no more
There's no getting away

We seen Heaven and Hell
Felt pleasure and pain
Lies we tell to ourselves
We can never explain
Snakes talking with forked tongue
Mention my name
Who's out in the cold?
Who's left in the rain?
