"Kirov" refers to Russia's Kirov Oblast, where a sudden onset of man-eating wolf attacks occured for a decade of the mid 1900's.
lyrics
There’s always been a healthy fear
Glance over the shoulder there and here
Now in the still icy air
You see breath fog everywhere
CHORUS
Was I allowed to breathe
Life into this masterpiece
Just to have it dragged away by the throat
Red scarf trailing
They always worked alone at first
Social rejects eager to quench their thirst
But even the loners will
Work together for the right kill
So innocent now in your sleep
In proverbial fields of sheep
How can I protect you from the way it works
What if I can’t hide you from the wolves that lurk?
