The Roman Nightmare – Part III: The Rise of the Wolf

[Intro] He walked the hills with staff and flame A shepherd bound to none but name [Verse 1] He saw the blood, he heard the cries The oath betrayed beneath the skies But from the ash, a fire grew The wolf awoke, the hunter knew [Pre-Chorus] No crown, no gold, no throne to claim Just vengeance carved in Roman shame [Chorus] Ohh... The rise of the wolf begins Uhh... He strikes where silence spins Through stone and fire, he leads the way The Roman nightmare meets its prey [Verse 2] He knew the land, he knew the night He turned retreat into the fight With every raid, the legions bled And Rome grew pale with mounting dread [Pre-Chorus] No fortress stood, no march was safe The wolf had learned the Roman shape [Chorus] Ohh... The rise of the wolf begins Uhh... He strikes where silence spins Through stone and fire, he leads the way The Roman nightmare meets its prey [Verse 3] He shared the spoils, he walked alone No palace built, no gilded throne But every tribe that heard his name Would follow fire, would feed the flame [Pre-Chorus] He led with honor, not with fear And Rome would tremble when he neared [Chorus] Ohh... The rise of the wolf begins Uhh... He strikes where silence spins Through stone and fire, he leads the way The Roman nightmare meets its prey [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] He was no king, he wore no crown But every Roman feared him down The hills would howl, the night would sing The wolf had come, not born a king [Call-out:] He is no king – he is the wolf Viriathus, son of the hills Voice of the free – fire of the Lusitanians [Outro] And still the hills remember names And still the Lusitanians rise Song Title: The Roman Nightmare – Part III: The Rise of the Wolf Artist: HardRockChild Created with assistance from Microsoft Copilot © 2025 HardRockChild
