{Intro} [Forge hammer] [Cold wind] [Single blues guitar] [Low raven call] {Male Lead - Deep, Gravelly} We were born where the black pines sway, Under iron skies and the break of day, Ran with ghosts through the mountain rain, Learned too young that every road brings pain. Found our names in the firelight glow, Lost a few where the cold winds blow, Still their voices ride the northern air, Every mile reminds us they were there. {Pre-Chorus} Raise your eyes to the storm above, Every scar is the mark of love, Every grave is a story told, Every heart carries iron and gold. {Chorus} Carry on, wayward wolves, Through the dark and through the cold, When the road takes all you've got, Still you walk and still you hold. Carry on, wayward wolves, Let the thunder hear your song, The night may last a hundred years, But the pack keeps moving on. {Instrumental} [Blues guitar] [Nordic drums] [Low choir] {Verse 2} Saw the kingdoms rise and fall, Watched proud towers crumble into dust and stone, Held the line when the shadows came, Standing shoulder to shoulder, never alone. Some found peace beneath the snow, Some still walk where the wildfires glow, But their names burn bright inside our chest, Guiding weary souls when the world won't rest. {Pre-Chorus} Raise your eyes to the storm above, Every scar is the mark of love, Every grave is a story told, Every heart carries iron and gold. {Chorus} Carry on, wayward wolves, Through the dark and through the cold, When the road takes all you've got, Still you walk and still you hold. Carry on, wayward wolves, Let the thunder hear your song, The night may last a hundred years, But the pack keeps moving on. {Bridge} {Female Vocal - Haunting} I hear them in the winter wind, The ones we lost, the ones we've been, Beyond the frost, beyond the flame, Still calling softly through our names. {Male + Female Harmony} We are the fire they left behind, The road remembers every stride, No matter where the darkness falls, The pack survives... The pack survives... {Final Chorus} Carry on, wayward wolves, Through the dark and through the cold, When the road takes all you've got, Still you walk and still you hold. Carry on, wayward wolves, Let the mountains sing along, The stars will guide the faithful home, And the pack keeps moving on. {Outro} [Choir] [Forge ambience] [Wind] Carry on... Carry on... Wayward wolves...
