Lyrics
They say it's best to let sleeping dogs lie
But the ones I have
Aren't sleeping
No, they're snarling at the bars
Of the cage
So, I'm ready to release them now
To let the loose
To track you
To find you over time
You alone
You know you didn't need to betray
Me in the past
To cheat me
Deception behind every
Every word
(chorus)
Hey, hey, I'm opening the door to the cage
I'm letting the hounds loose
So watch out, they are coming for you
I've unleashed the dogs (the dogs)
(pre-bridge)
They are coming to get you (get you)
They are coming to consume your soul
They are gonna take your mind over time
Just like you took mine
(bridge)
The dogs run wild
Snarling, chasing, panting
Picking up your scent
Chasing you, chasing you
(chorus)
Hey, hey, I'm opening the door to the cage
I'm letting the hounds loose
So watch out, they are coming for you
I've unleashed the dogs (the dogs)
This is the price you have to pay me
No more letting sleeping dogs lie
They are out and I'm now free
Let them take their revenge
For what you did to me (to me)
(chorus)
Hey, hey, I'm opening the door to the cage
I'm letting the hounds loose
So watch out, they are coming for you
I've unleashed the dogs (the dogs)
You made your own decisions
You chose to try to break me
But now, but now, the dogs are loose
I'm finally free (free)
