Run
Every second is a pure affliction
But I can feel your pain
Choke back the burn of wrath as they violate your
name
No sign of innocence in this godforsaken place
When the truth is in your hands, theyall spit upon your face
Dismantle
the ground they stand on
Give power a name
Youave traveled the path of slander
Now bury the shame
Shed rejection
Learn
to follow the wolves
[Chorus:]
Run away to the blackened sky, through the fear of disbelief
Run away from the hollow cries,
to the shelter of release
Run away to the blackened sky, through the fear of disbelief
Run away from the hollow cries, to
immunity
See the struggle of the faithless lot as they negate their time
How low to sink to the depths of their frame of
mind
Dismantle the ground they stand on
Give power a name
Youave traveled the path of slander
Now bury the
shame
Shed rejection
Learn to follow the wolves
[Chorus]
No tear for desolation
Nearing the end of our
misery
[Chorus]
[The idea behind Follow The Wolves comes from a thought I had about being awolves in sheepas clothing,a and
how you could very well refer to us (a Christian heavy metal band) as asheep in wolves clothing.a And in conjunction with that thought, I
thought of how the term asheepa was often used to deem someone a mindless follower. And if someone were being a asheepa by mindlessly
following the flock of worldly desires, then again, we must be the wolves.
This idea got me thinking about some of the fans that
have written us that feel like outsiders in their schools or churches. There are a lot of Demon Hunter that feel very alone in their
principles and convictions within their environment, and theyave written to thank us for being a source of inspiration and stability for
them.
This song is for all of the fans out there, pressured to follow the rest of the world and fit in with the crowd. The
pre-chorus says aShed rejection, learn to follow the wolves,a which means to forget about the ridicule from your peers. Follow us, the
outcasts. We understand your struggles and we will overcome this world.
aEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and
broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and
only a few find it.a
-Matthew 7: 13, 14]
