Wake Up Lyrics

Wake up! Wake Up!

The wolves are biting.
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep.
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips.
We're giving in and we are falling fast asleep.

Creating more Prodigals. More jaded and worn.
Creating more Prodigals. More jaded and worn.
We organize and strategize.
Yet we're keeping our mouths shut.

For we are actors without action.
When the cost factors no reaction.
Still we hide under roof and steeple.
'Cus we're afraid people.

The wolves are biting.
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep.
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips.
We're giving in and we are falling fast asleep.

Wake up! Wake Up!

So if faith comes by hearing, why not speaking by preaching?
Though my fear is the half truths that the many are teaching.

The world is lining you up and bids to come.
To live on the edge till your heart it is numb.
Lining you up and bids you farewell.
To look like the righteous but still live like hell.

Are we fighting?
Are we fighting or are we asleep?
Are we dying?
Are we dying to aid the sheep?

We compromise in our own eyes.
Yet we're keeping our mouths shut.
So are we crying.
So are we crying to all the lost dead.

Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away.
The sins of the whole world by his blood shed.
Making straight the way. The way of the Lord.
Making straight the way. The way of the Lord.

Hailing from Cedarville, OH, Wolves At The Gate has given a small, quiet town, big, loud rock. Although a combination of five dedicated friends, the line-up originally consisted of just Steve (vocals/guitar) and Ryan (drums) and a series of jam sessions in Steve's living room (since then drummer Dave Nester has joined the band). Before they knew it the scene was abuzz, and the guys were asked to jump on a few local shows. To create a full band Jeremy (guitar) and Ben (bass) were adopted into the WATG family, and soon after an additional vocalist, Colin, was added. Although the band loves to create and play music, they live to "bring Glory to God...we are compelled to love those who we come in contact with regardless of their own personal beliefs, and to share the joy of the salvation that Christ has brought in our lives." But don't you dare shrug them off as a cookie-cutter-Myspace-underOATH-knock-off band. Wolves At The Gate brings on a fresh, original style of music combining catchy rock riffs, tasteful screaming, and even church hymns - not to mention a powerful, Thrice-like vocalist. Besides consistently exceptional musical content, the band's creativity will keep you hooked.
