[Lyrics by Greenwolf] [Slow build up] [Syncopated guitar riff] [Complex electric guitar solo] [Electric guitar fades into acoustic guitar] [Ballad style acoustic guitar riff] [Verse 1] When I was a young boy My mother said to me You're not like other kids Be proud of who you be [Verse 2] But then my parents passed away And I was all alone Never able to fit in I was passed from home to home [Pre-chorus] Knocked down Way too many times Unaware of the beast that was sleeping deep inside [Verse 3] No one warmed to me called me the wild one Subjected to abuse when the grown ups had gone [Verse 4] It was never easy to be different from the other kids Always falling foul of All the rules the orphanage forbids [Pre-chorus] Knocked down Way too many times Unaware of the beast that was sleeping deep inside [Chorus 1] Not knowing who I was Not understanding what I am Not knowing all the rules A wolf among the lamb Not knowing who I was Not understanding what I am Not knowing who I was Not understanding what I am Not knowing all the rules A wolf among the lamb [Melodic guitar riff] [Heavy syncopated riff] [Bridge] The Orphanage was overfilled Too many kids for the adults to supervise Never seeing the harm I suffered Only seeing my reaction and believing their lies Bullied and punished An endless cycle [Melodic guitar solo] [complex guitar solo] [Chorus 1] Not knowing who I was Not understanding what I am Not knowing all the rules A wolf among the lamb Not knowing who I was Not understanding what I am Not knowing all the rules A wolf among the lamb [Syncopated guitar riff] [melodic guitar solo] [long complex guitar solo with syncopated guitar riff] [Heavy guitar riff] [Verse 5 - Heavy Riffs] Nothing changed at school Except.. this anger inside A pariah to be shunned My feelings.. I tried to hide Always targeted There was no release Wanting to be alone But my torment never ceased [Chorus] The kids can be so cruel at school Making life hell if you don't conform to their rules But they couldn't sense the rage within Couldn't see the beast that was awakenin' [Verse 6] I brought my troubles home Forever moved.. between foster family New school same old problems Is there.. anyone who can understand me? Always rejected There was no relief Wanting to be loved But the torment never ceased [Chorus] The kids can be so cruel at school Making life hell for those who don't conform to their rules But they couldn't sense the rage within Couldn't see the beast that was awakenin' [Spatial guitar solo] [syncopated guitar riff] [verse 7] As I approached adulthood My moods.. grew wilder and wilder Struggled to keep my self control My physique.. became much stronger No longer bullied But now full of hate The others grew weary But it was much too late [Complex guitar solo interspersed with syncopated riffs] [Syncopated guitar solo] [Long melodic guitar solo] [fast syncopated guitar riff] [Verse 8] For too long I fed the wrong wolf And on the next moon he will take control My inner beast Will find release To seek revenge for the innocence that they stole [Verse 9] All those years I suffered alone Only hate to fill my savage heart I never learned to tame the beast Without a pack I was doomed from the start [Pre-chorus] And when the next moon is high in the sky [Chorus] And.. then.. they'll meet.. The wilder side of me And.. then.. they'll meet.. The wilder side of me [Verse 10] I lose myself buried deep within As the wolf seeks vengeance for the years I cried On the hunt for who wronged me From the beast there will be no place to hide [syncopated guitar riff] [Verse 11] My thirst for blood will never be filled As long as the moon is high the wolf will not sleep The savagery is consuming me I watch powerless as my prey fall like sheep [Pre-chorus] Without a pack I was doomed from the start [Chorus] And.. then.. they'll meet.. The wilder side of me And.. then.. they'll meet.. The wilder side of me [Syncopated guitar riff] [Complex guitar solo] [Djent guitar riff] [syncopated guitar riff] [fast melodic guitar solo] [Verse 12] When the night is done Is the time to run To frozen north Far away from here For If I can't control the beast I must live with fear I must live where no man is near [Verse 13] So here I am in the wilderness losing myself with every passing moon Humanity slips with every turn My eternity as the wolf will come soon [Heavy guitar riff] [Pre-Chorus] A shadow in the night A legend for all time [Chorus] Forever.. I'll.. be.. The wilder side of me Forever.. I'll.. be.. The wilder side of me The wilder side of me The wilder side of me [Ending]
