Music and lyrics: Lilou & John
Beyond these woods
There is a stray wolf running
From the winter hunt
Like a shadow of life
On its ragged back
Gray like the evening sky
Under lonely moonlight
I will ride this night
Over fields of rye
His feet will tear through darkness
Until the morning star shine
From the cold black sky
His old white fangs
Shine like silver arrows
In the depth of the marches
Where no humans dare
Across the mountain dew
Where all the world lay open
His frozen breath is howling
To the fading moon
When I see the sun
Glow like a ring of sulfur
We have reached the summit
I lay down to die
My journey’s done
From the human heartland
On the back of the stray wolf
To the end of life
I will rise again
In the shape of a demon
And unleash the ocean
My stray wolf
My stray wolf

Music and lyrics: Lilou & John
I stand alone on Joshua Bridge by the traffic light
The rain feels like acid to my skin
I see a car that’s burning its lights are like the cold
Naked silver eyes of a scorpion
I follow the long road to the end of town
To a building site left to rust
The cranes look like preachers staring at the sky
Waiting for the blessing from a scorpion
All through this night when every thief crawls through my window
I find someone has been walking in my shoes
I walk to the houses high up on the hill
Waiting like giants for the flood
I see through every curtain that shadows are asleep
Caught by the eyes of a scorpion
I see the storm clouds gather and lightning strike the trees
I raise my arms toward the falling sky
There was a time when people rushed along the streets
Blinded by the poison from a scorpion
An ambulance scream like a cry of pain through the city
The driver is void and his eyes are lost beyond reason
Block out the light from the street lights that shimmer like diamonds
Crowning a face living a life with no meaning
All through this night when every thief crawls through my window
I find someone has been walking in my shoes
I come to the supermarket where the floor is gone
The roof is hanging like a broken jaw
I see a long lost child there abandoned to the flood
His empty eyes stung by scorpion
I walk up the staircase to see beyond the clouds
See the horizon open up
I can see the fires from the power plant explode
Into the night like blood from a scorpion
I wade across the river to the city cemetery
Walk across the flowers left to rot
I see in every headstone people trying to hide
They all carry the poison of a scorpion
All through this night when every thief crawls through my window
I find someone has been walking in my shoes
All through this night when every thief crawls through my window
I find someone has been walking in my shoes
