[Verse] Wolves wrote this, recorded this And today is Monday, June 21
[Chorus] The days are numbered and so are words We repeat the same old words Listen back to my voice, a distant ghost Moving objects, the music they make
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] The days are numbered and so are words We repeat the same old words Listen back to my voice, a distant ghost Moving objects, the music they make
[Outro] The music they make The music they make

A City in the Skies
[Verse 1] A black widow hangs, hangs from a tree Marked with the cross, a symbol of concern Under the cover of night, a powerful play Rolling into the city, wild beasts of prey In a garden of green, cascading streams A thousand little screens, the killing machines
[Chorus] What are they thinking of? What is going on? What in the world is happening now What are they thinking of? What is going on? All the little children have gone insane
[Verse 2] Break the window, get into the house Wipe the memory, we were never here Icons will fall once and for all A heart-shaped piece of wood, St. Catherine by the well The birds are in the air, the streets have new names The war doors are open, a storm is coming
[Chorus] What are they thinking of? What is going on? What in the world is happening now What are they thinking of? What is going on? All the little children have gone insane

Forgive Us (Feat. Nils Petter Molvær)
Captain, are you there This is a perfect storm Let it be heard The great god Pan is dead
The throne is empty We are alone Spirit of the sky... Spirit of the earth
Spirit of the sky, remember us Spirit of the earth, forgive us Spirit of the sky, remember us Spirit of the earth, forgive us Spirit of the sky, remember us Spirit of the earth, forgive us
Remember us... Forgive us...

Locusts
[Verse 1] The shepherd screams There's something in the air The wind is picking up Pages from the scriptures
[Verse 2] Spreading like wildfire On wings and prayers Babel of tongues Ruffling the feathers
[Verse 3] The red wasteland The flight of the starlings The sound of wild horses The clatter of millions
[Bridge] The shepherd screams There's something in the air The wind is picking up Pages from the scriptures
[Verse 3] The red wasteland The flight of the starlings The sound of wild horses The clatter of millions
[Chorus] Can you feel it Oh, can you feel it While we are waiting for the rain Can you feel it Oh, can you feel it While we are waiting for the rain While we are waiting for the rain (Waiting for, we're waiting for the rain)
[Outro] Can you hear it? (Hear it) Oh, can you hear it They are coming closer Can you hear it? (Hear it) Oh, can you hear it They are coming closer They are coming closer (They are coming closer)

Hollywood Babylon
[Verse] Hey, you, did you catch performing arts today? Do you even know who you really are Should you feel that burning sensation, try violence or self-harm, stuff your face, sing hallelujah to the Lord It's how this song goes
[Chorus] You know that you want to, you know that you can't, don't speak nothing but the truth Nobody comes, nobody goes, you never know who is watching you No one will get away, don't fuck with America They'll shoot you anyway, you have the right to protect yourself Protect yourself Don't fuck with America
[Interlude]
[Chorus] You know that you want to, you know that you can't, don't speak nothing but the truth Nobody comes, nobody goes, you never know who is watching you No one will get away, don't fuck with America They'll shoot you anyway, you have the right to protect yourself Protect yourself Don't fuck with America

The Red Light
The world is burning Animals are turning Man is wolf to man Do you understand
The new world order Breaching the border Swords of iron war Blood on the door
Swords of iron war Blood on the door Stare into the sun The barrel of a gun
Barrel of a gun Barrel of a gun Barrel of a gun Barrel of a gun
Get the car and drive Just try to stay alive Just try to stay alive
Swords of war Blood on the door Swords of war Blood on the door Swords of war Blood on the door Swords of war Blood on the door
A message on the radio Written a hundred years ago Journey to the end of the night Stop by the red light By the red light
