"
The wolf lets him in
The lion runs in through the door
The real fun begins
As they both rush upon you and
Rip open your flesh
The lion eats his fill and then
The wolf cleans up the mess
I think that the lion, is your outer problems, and the wolf is your inner problems. The outer world attacks you with outer issues, that triggers inner turmoil. These problems will eventually eat you up from the inside due to the stress caused. Your problems slowly consume you, and "tear apart your sanity," sound familiar? Rip Open Your Flesh Which is why the singer ends up dead at the end of the song. I have no idea what you guys are talking bout with the lovers though... Haha.
