Innocence is a thing the soul must guard
A heart is fragile and easily marred
There are those who wound and steal
What they hurt is hard to heal
They feed on your trust and your need to believe
Use your dreams to dupe and deceive
They'll show you the moon and your very own star
Tell you it's time to prove who you are
Then point to the wind and the open sky
While they tie your wings so you can't fly
All the while daring you not to cry
At first you hardly notice the pain
'cause they're so good at how to explain
Behind a mask of love they hide their loathing
Beware of wolves in sheeps' clothing
They'll never give you room to complain
The blood of betrayal leaves no stain
Behind a mask of love they hide their loathing
Beware of wolves in sheeps' clothing
Here they come with their encircling arms
While they sink their teeth with their worldly charms
They'll hold you close while tear you apart
Cradle your head while they rip out your heart
Keep feeding you hope while they bleed you dry
All the while looking you in the eye
Daring you not to utter a cry
