Wolf at Your Door Lyrics
All creeps softly in the snow
Light and tears along a path ('Long a path)
A knife between her teeth, she roams
For she is now a stranger
[Verse 1]
Chasin’ a fairy tale (Fairy tale), chasin' a lie (Lie)
But everything changes (Changes) and everything dies (Dies)
You preyed on my innocence (Innocence), tried to bury my name (Name)
But now there's ice in my veins, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a wolf at your door
There's a hound at your heels
There's a snake in your bed
Tell me, how does it feel?
[Chorus]
When you let the wolves in
You let the wolves in
When you're laying in your bed at night
When the air's just a little too quiet
Better hope that you're saying your prayers
When you think that it's over, I swear
You think that
Up from the ashes (Ashes), run through the fire (Fire)
Down by the blade that bled us the same
And the blood won't dry (Dry)
The monsters that made us (Us), they wrote down their names (Names)
One by one, I’m gonna dig your graves (Graves)
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a wolf at your door (There's a wolf at your door)
There’s a hound at your heels (There's a hound at your heels)
There's a snake in your bed (There's a snake in your bed)
Tell me, how does it feel? (Tell me, how does it feel?)
[Chorus]
When you let the wolves in
You let the wolves in
When you’re laying in your bed at night
When the air's just a little too quiet
Better hope that you're saying your prayers
When you think that it's over, I swear
You think that
[Bridge]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
There's a wolf at your door (There's a wolf at your door)
There's a hound at your heels (There's a hound at your heels)
There's a snake in your bed (There's a snake in your bed)
Tell me, how does it feel? (Tell me, how does it feel?)
[Chorus]
When you let the wolves in
You let the wolves in
When you're laying in your bed at night
When the air's just a little too quiet
Better hope that you're saying your prayers
When you think that it's over, I swear
You think that
About
“Wolf at Your Door” is the 12th track on the collaborative soundtrack For the Throne: Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones. On this haunting tune, the dynamic duo paint a harrowing picture.
As is perhaps fitting for a song by sisters, this song deals with the show’s most famous sisters: Sansa and Arya Stark. In an interview with Making Game of Thrones, co-writer Sam Harris elaborated on the decision to make the song about the Stark girls:
“We didn’t have a song that really encapsulated the spirit of Sansa and Arya’s relationship yet… It’s reflective of where these women have landed in the show. They have both been hardened by war and loss and betrayal — yet still have a moral compass.”
