[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][B][Bm][D][A][G][Bm][B][Bm]
[D][A][G][Bm]
[D][A][Gdim]
At [G]first you kindle

[Verse 1]
[Bm]life
You place it in a [D]man
This man, he has a [A]heart
That's filled with [G]fire!

[Verse 2]
The [G]man will have a [Bm]wife
The wife creates the [D]home
They multiply and [A]so
Their hearts [D]are [A]filled [D]with [G]fear

[Verse 3]
(So!) The [G]man creates a [Bm]wall
He arms, defends them [D]all
This fear becomes his fall
[A][D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]"Blood is a bodity fluid
in animals that"
"Delivers [D]necessary substances
such as"
"Nutrients and [Bm]oxygen to
the cells and"
"Transports metabolic
waste product[D]s"
"Away from those same cells"
The [G]color of

[Verse 5]
[A]life and arrow of
fear made [G]flow
Auburn [Em]rivers [D]in the [G]snow
[A]dance the death
[F#m]Of fading peace [G]of min[Em]d[Bm]

[Verse 6]
Kept awake by the [Bm]night
Of the twilight's [D]cold, sad sweeps
[Bm]What the child of Orion
Has sown his [D]cubs will reap
[G]The fire is [A]out
And there's an ominous si[G]lence
But he [Em]can see them [G]in the [A]dark
Under the [F#m]moon, the shadows [G]find them
[Em]Wolf

[Verse 7]
[G]stares in your eye[Bm]s
Blink first and [D]die
Beauty and [A]fear
(Of wolves and [Bm]of people)

[Verse 8]
There's a cave on the hills in
the woods not so [D]far away
[Bm]Never once had he seen the descent
of [D]majestic gray [G]coming this [A]way

[Verse 9]
Now he can [A]see those blue eye[G]s
Burning [Em]through the
[G]darkened [A]night
He knows the fur,
[F#m]he used to lov[G]e her[Em]

[Verse 10]
[Bm]Ready or [A]not, there [D]will be [G]blood!
[Bm]Life is a [A]gift you [D]have no
[G]lease [Bm]for anym[A]ore!
There [D]will [G]blood!
[Bm]You will buy our b[A]lood
[D]with your [G]own blood!
You [Bm]will buy [A]our [D]blood
with your own [G]blood!
The last thing [Bm]you'll see [D]is a

[Verse 11]
[G]Wolf, it stares in your [Bm]eye s
Blink first [D]and die
Beauty and [A]fear within
[G]

[Verse 12]
Who's more of a [Bm]beast
A king or [D]a priest?
What do you [A]be lieve?

[G][Bm]

[Verse 13]
Wolves or the [D]people things we [Am]fear
Wolves or [D]the people
Wolves [Am]fear the fear of the [D]people
Think, how one [C]fear[Am] ful man [D]can des
[C]troy [Am]this [D]world
[Am][D][Am]

[Verse 14]
[A]
At first you kindle [C#m]life,
you place it in a [E]man
This man, he has a [B]heart that's
filled with [A]fire

[Verse 15]
The man will have a [C#m]wife,
the wife creates the [E]home
They multiply and [B]so,
their hearts are filled with fear

[Verse 16]
Maybe [B]men cannot live when their hearts
Are not [Ebm]filled with fire [F#]instead of love
For [C#]fear is a powerful [B]thing
Maybe only the might and the power
of [D#m]fear maintains our l[F#]ife
We function [C#]when it's
controlled by deni[B]al

[Verse 17]
The wolf [B]in your [D#m]eyes
blinks first and [F#]dies
Beauty [C#]and fear– the wolves
and the [B]people

[Verse 18]
Those hills [B]have no [D#m]eyes,
but they hear your [F#]cries
Beauty and [C#]fear, the blood,

[Outro 1]
the wolves and the people
