I stand on the edge where the daylight dies Behind me, a night with no end Men look away when they meet my eyes Even the shadows won't call me friend I wasn't born of hate or flame I was born of fear and night Of every cry that no one came Of every prayer that lost its light My wolves are more than fur and bone They're souls who called into the dark Now they know they're not alone Faith still burns, still leaves its mark I've banished demons back to the deep Where broken worlds collide and bend One word in a tongue that no one speaks Could bring their darkest hour to an end But there's a darkness I can't undo It isn't born where dead worlds break It's born in man, and lives there too It's not a shadow. It's wide awake My wolves are more than fur and bone They're souls who called into the dark Now they know they're not alone Faith still burns, still leaves its mark This is no story from the past Beyond these trees, I see it burn No demon lit that fire at last Man struck the match, man's turn to learn I cannot stop what's burning now I guard the border, hold the line But I can't save the world from itself I can't save man from man Every night, new souls arrive My pack grows stronger, one by one And hope grows with them, still alive That one day, we'll be strong enough To make this madness come undone
