(Verse 1) Smoke on the hill, blood on the pine, Rusted old shotgun, ticking of time. They took what was mine, left me half-alive, Now the moon calls my name, and I rise. (Pre-Chorus) The wind knows my sorrow, it howls through the trees, A sinner’s confession carried on the breeze. (Chorus) It’s wolf season, under a cold white moon, Vengeance in my heart, redemption coming soon. The night’s my preacher, the stars my choir, I’m baptized again in smoke and fire. (Verse 2) Tracks in the dirt, ghosts on the run, Whiskey on my breath, hand on my gun. I hear their voices in the river’s bend, Saying “You can’t kill pain, but you can make it end.” (Pre-Chorus) The night bleeds silver, my soul bleeds red, Every step I take, I bury the dead. (Chorus) It’s wolf season, under a cold white moon, Vengeance in my heart, redemption coming soon. The night’s my preacher, the stars my choir, I’m baptized again in smoke and fire. (Bridge) Oh, mercy don’t come easy, not for men like me, But the Lord might listen ‘neath that old oak tree. When the dawnlight breaks and the thunder dies, I’ll leave my sins where the wolf still cries. (Final Chorus) It’s wolf season, my time has come, The devil’s debt paid, the fight nearly done. The night fades slowly, I face the sun, Reborn in the ashes — the hunted’s become the one. (Outro) Howl to the heavens, let the wild winds roar, Wolf season’s over… but I’m hungry for more.
