The wolves are at the door
Forever and ever more
A nightmare that we've lived before
The wolves are at the door
The day they came they took it all
A people robbed, their future gone
A toxic state; we watched it roll
That downward slope like ancient Rome
The towers falling
Down down down
A path of no escape
The wolves are at the door
And they've made us look before
They came in boats, they came on land
Alone and scared with empty hands
The founding thought: come if you can
Your tired, poor, your huddled mass
In grand old eyes a life reviled
Becomes a threat, a parasite
The wolves are at the door
Forever and ever more
It's a different type of war
When the wolves are at the door
Forever and ever more
A nightmare that we've lived before
The wolves are at the door
A people robbed, their future gone
A toxic state; we watched it roll
That downward slope like ancient Rome
Down down down
A path of no escape
And they've made us look before
Alone and scared with empty hands
The founding thought: come if you can
Your tired, poor, your huddled mass
In grand old eyes a life reviled
Becomes a threat, a parasite
Forever and ever more
It's a different type of war
When the wolves are at the door

Seems to be about how our perspectives have changed in a post 9/11 world. We've confused terrorists with refugees. We fight in never ending wars that can't be won and the enemy is always at the gate which perpetuates the cycle and causes us to treat refugees so badly. The falling of the towers was part of the downfall of our western society, not because of what the terrorists did, but because of our reaction to this event
