Lyrics:

A sheep in wolf’s clothing is taking a lamb.
And by taking its soul sacrified his for all time.

Nights full of pain and gasping for air.
No regrets while you flagellate yourself through the day.

And your fathers won’t see, they don’t want to hear.
T
hey don’t see no blame and help hiding the felony.

You promised them fire, purgatory in flames
if they are gonna talk and show off their scars.

And your fathers won’t see, they don’t want to hear.
They don’t see no blame and help hiding the felony.

And when the nighttime has fallen
the demons will rise again.
Silently creeping, forgetting all about virtue.

You’re taking their flesh enjoying their fear.
Expecting no punishment.
God will forgive, God will have mercy!

Maybe the Devil is riding you...
No prayer will bring you relief.
A sheep in wolf’s clothing can be taken by a wolf
and be shot.
