Wolves of the North

[Intro] (deep wolf howls • frozen wind • tribal drums slowly rising) Hei-ja… Hei-ja… Úlfr… Norðr… (distant male chanting echoes through mountains) ⸻ [Verse 1] We were raised beneath black winters Under skies that never healed Where broken men became the hunted And fear was never concealed The mountains carved our hunger The cold became our skin And every storm that tried to kill us Only let the wolves begin ⸻ [Build-Up] (guitars slowly rising with ancestral chants) Hei-ja… Hei-ja… Úlfr vaknar… Hei-ja… (drums intensify) Stormr… Stormr… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Hear the howling through the silence Hear the thunder in our veins Every shadow moving closer Every chain about to break ⸻ [Chorus] (massive exploding guitars + gang vocals) WE ARE THE WOLVES UNDER THE NORTH RUNNING THROUGH THE FROZEN DARK Every scar became a weapon Every wound became our mark WE ARE THE WOLVES UNDER THE NORTH BORN INSIDE THE STORM When the weak all disappear The wild ones carry on ⸻ [Post-Chorus] (tribal gang chants) HEY! HEY! ÚLFR! HEY! NORÐR! HEY! ⸻ [Verse 2] The cities drowned in static The oceans swallowed light But somewhere in the ruins The wolves still learned to fight No gods came down to save us No kings survived the fall Only blood and frozen instinct Echoing through us all ⸻ [Build-Up] (bigger guitars • chants becoming more aggressive) Hei-ja… Hei-ja… Stormr lifir… (Eira screaming in distance) RUN WITH US! ⸻ [Chorus] (even bigger and more melodic) WE ARE THE WOLVES UNDER THE NORTH HOWLING AT THE BLACKENED SKY Ancient hearts inside our chests Still refusing to die WE ARE THE WOLVES UNDER THE NORTH WILD BEYOND CONTROL Every frozen generation Still alive inside our souls ⸻ [Bridge] (everything cuts except drums and breathing) Hei-ja… Hei-ja… Úlfr… Úlfr… (low whisper) The wild remembers… ⸻ [Breakdown] (massive primitive groove riff) WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO OBEY WE WERE BORN TO HUNT THE FLAMES ⸻ [Final Chorus] (huge cinematic choir + soaring guitars + wolf howls) WE ARE THE WOLVES UNDER THE NORTH NOW THE SIGNAL FILLS THE SKY Every fallen soul before us Still runs beside us tonight WE ARE THE WOLVES UNDER THE NORTH AND THE COLD MADE US ALIVE When the last machines collapse The wild will still survive ⸻ [Outro] (wolf howls fading into wind and distant chanting) Hei-ja… Úlfr… Norðr…
