The Ol' gray wolf

He’s howlin’ out your window

Wanderin’ through the wood

Try conjurin’ where he’s been, tho’

Nobody ever could

You’re questionin’ all of your senses

Wonderin’ if he’s real

But there ain’t no other consensus

For explainin’ just what you feel

He’s out there in the darkness

Fixin’ to hunt you down

He’s hungry and he’s heartless

Roamin’ from town to town

Every soul laid low

By the ol’ gray wolf

Every soul laid low

By the ol’ gray wolf

The night is lingerin’ longer

Wind sweepin’ over the plain

Your veins are poundin’ still stronger

As a fear envelopes your brain

Your lungs too tight to be breathin’

You sense him right at the gate

And when you finally see him

Well it’s all too little too late

He rushes you in an instant

Claws flyin’ over the ground

Sharpened teeth a-glistenin’

Crushin’ without a sound

Every soul laid low

By the ol’ gray wolf

Every soul laid low

By the ol’ gray wolf

He tempted us in The Garden

Takin’ us down for the count

But we’re forgiven and pardoned

As Jesus taught on The Mount

So why do we live in anger?

And why do we wallow in hate?

Why do we grieve our Savior?

When it’s Him we should imitate

Instead we follow The Liar 

Fallin’ for all of his tricks

Our sins are pilin’ up higher

A mess only God can fix

Every soul laid low

By the ol’ gray wolf

Every soul laid low

By the ol’ gray wolf
