about

Beware The Wolves tells the story of a young homosexual man who gets rejected by the Church as he seeks to find a relationship with God.

lyrics

I WENT TO THE CHURCH TODAY,
JUST TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY.
AN OLD LADY LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN,
SHE DIDN’T LIKE THE LOOK OF ME.

AS I SAT AT THE BACK,
I LISTENED TO A TRACK.
SPEAKING ON SINS OF THE HEART
HATE AND BLASPHEMY.
(SEXUALITY)

GOT UP AT THE END OF THE SERMON TO GRAB THE FREE COFFEE
I WASN’T REALLY SURPRISED, NOBODY TALKED TO ME
CRYING DEEP INSIDE.
THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE.
COULDN’T SHOW THROUGH MY SABBATH MASK,
COZ IT FITTED TOO NEATLY

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHO CAN YOU SAVE?
WHAT IS THE MEANING,
OF ALL YOUR PRAISE?
YES, YOU SING IT LOUD AND PROUD,
BUT IT’S ALL IN VAIN.
COZ YOU SHOW NO LOVE,
TO EVERYONE IN PAIN.

PASTOR CAUGHT ME AT THE DOOR.
‘SO, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF ME?’
I ASKED IS IT POSSIBLE,
‘CAN I REALLY BE FREE?’
HE GAVE ME A SORRY LOOK,
GRABBING HOLD OF MY HAND HE SHOOK, BRINGING MY EAR CLOSER, HE WHISPERED GENTLY, SAYING,
‘THEY WOULDN’T LOVE ME IF THEY KNEW THE REAL ME.'
‘THEY WOULDN’T LOVE ME EITHER IF THEY KNEW THE REAL ME.’

LOOK HOW YOU TREAT THEM
THE DIFFERENT AND THE BRAVE.
WHERE IS YOUR COMFORT FOR THOSE
GRIEVING AT THE GRAVES.
FOR ALL THEIR LOVED ONES,
YOU TOO DENIED.
WE WANTED LOVE TOO
AND THAT WAS OUR CRIME.
THEY JUST WANT LOVED TOO,
IS THAT SUCH A CRIME?

TO THE REJECTED,
TO YOU I SING.
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
HEED THIS WARNING: BEWARE THE WOLVES.
