In the houses of the holy,
To the middle of the mystic sea,
At the craddle of the world
There's a black cat screamin',
And it's not even midnight,
At the craddle of the world

They're screamin' sanctuary,
They're screamin' at you,
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves

Now there's a cloud over heaven,
And the pain of a paradise,
In your corner of the world
Ah, turn your back on the children,
Does it feel like it's colder,
In your corner of the world

They're screamin' sanctuary,
They're screamin' at you,
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves,
Don't you let them get away,
Lock up the wolves before you play,
Or it's over
Lock up the wolves,
Don't you let them get away,
Don't let them get away

There's no back door to heaven,
Just a front door to hell,
Oh, in this corner of the world
Now if you turn your back on the children,
You'll feel it getting colder,
Ah, in your corner of the world

They're screamin' sanctuary,
They're screamin' at you,
Oooh!
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves
Lock them up
