Wolf and the Seven Kids

[Intro] [whispered vocals, eerie strings] Tiptoe shadows in the forest grove, Whispers in the wind where the cold breath roves. A tale from the past, spun in teeth and gold, Seven little hearts, and a wolf so bold. [Verse 1] In the belly of the woods, where the moonlight prowls, Wolf don’t knock, he howls, claws sharp like vowels. A legend told by embers and coals, Seven kids in a cottage, innocence they hold. Momma goat warned, "Keep the latch tight," But hunger don’t sleep, it stalks through the night. Heard the clock tick, wolf slick with disguise, Voice sweetened like honey, mask over his lies. [Chorus] Knock, knock—who's that at the door? Wolf in the shadows, heart cold to the core. Seven kids, seven dreams, scattered on the floor, The beast don’t ask, he takes what he’s lookin’ for. [Verse 2] Stepped to the threshold, sugar in his tone, Imitating momma’s song, but the pitch ain’t cloned. “Let me in, my darlings, the world’s too grim,” But the youngest smelled danger, saw the truth within. "Show your paw," they said, wisdom tucked in fear, Wolf dipped his claws in flour—made 'em look sincere. The door creaked open, innocence betrayed, A feast set for hunger, shadows overlaid. [Pre-Chorus] Wheat-stained paws, and a devilish grin, Seven hearts beating, but the wolf walks in. The clock strikes betrayal, ticking grows thin, The forest holds its breath, chaos begins. [Chorus] Knock, knock—who's that at the door? Wolf in the shadows, heart cold to the core. Seven kids, seven dreams, scattered on the floor, The beast don’t ask, he takes what he’s lookin’ for.
