Lost souls with no home
I’ve been locked away here, no escape
Keeping me here, just let me go
I just want to go back home

Let me fade away
I understand the hunger
Of what the lone wolf cries
Let me go

How could you know what I feel?
Don’t sympathize with me, you’ll never know my pain
There is no home for me here
I’m too far and much too late

Just…Let me fade away
I understand the hunger
Of what the lone wolf cries
His cries, his pleads I ask them now…
Let me go

Release me from this punishment
I’ve been here long enough
…I am here can’t you hear my cries?
Can you not hear the pain in my voice?

Let me fade away
I understand the hunger
Of what the lone wolf cries
The sadness in his moans, I cry them too
Let me go
