about

Originally released on the 'Bruises' EP - 18th November 2018

lyrics

Journeys that we make just to forget,
Gone like smoke from your cheap cigarette.
How familiar can old stories get?
Pull your seat close, I ain't even started yet.

Raised in muddy water.
Purify me.
Hallelujah.
Hands are in the fire.
Take me higher.
Cry hallelujah.

At the crossroads I made my exchange,
Nothing new or crazy, weird or strange.
Closed the chapter, opened my new page,
There's no science, just the need to make a change.

Raised in muddy water.
Purify me.
Hallelujah.
Hands are in the fire.
Take me higher.
Cry hallelujah.

Cleaned my shelf and found a new beginning.
Changed my face and changed my name.
Cleared my pockets just to show I'm winning.
Found new ways to play old games.
Burned my hands to prove it isn't hurting.
Hold my doors and hide my fears.
Bless my soul, so far I think it's working.
I moved from mud to open seas.

Raised in muddy water.
Purify me.
Hallelujah.
Hands are in the fire.
Take me higher.
Cry hallelujah.

Raised in muddy water.
Purify me.
Hallelujah.
Hands are in the fire.
Take me higher.
Cry hallelujah.

Wolves In Alcatraz emerged from the gritty Stoke-on-Trent underground in late 2017, born of a shared love for raw, unapologetic music.
Fronted by raw, aggressive guitarist/vocalist Ben Leese, anchored by the thunderous bass grooves of Dave Owen, and driven by the relentless, pounding drums of Luke Morgan, Wolves In Alcatraz are a force to be reckoned with.
