This song, from what I gather, is about the evil in people. Specifically, the evils of addiction.
The verses seem to recount relapses from different perspectives. The first verse is in reference to the addict, where they feel they are in life, why they use,etc. The second seems more from the partner/child perspective; it's as if the songwriter is now using the wolf as metaphor for the addict him/herself, arriving come and causing chaos.
The third verse, I'm honestly not sure who it's written for. It could go either way.
The mantra, which is probably the highlight of the song changes the entire mood of it all; love is stronger than pain. An addiction (to anything, mind you,) to hate, to greed, even to bones cannot match the power of love.
This mantra may actually be what the victim utters, and why the victim ultimately stays with the wolf. Or, it could be what the recovering addict says to themselves as part of recovery.
"If it's a final time to party
Im'a lay right there on my stone"
First off, stone as in stone sober. Secondly, those who need a think are referred to as "laying on their stone." The mantra following that stanza more overtly lets you know that, at least from the songwriter's perspective, they're done with the drugs/drink.

Beautiful song, and very powerful.
