[Intro] [Verse 1] Born in the light of the immortal lands Gift of Oromë, by holy hands I followed my master through sea and through pain But my heart chose to break the ancient chain [Verse 2] The Hound of Valinor, born of immortal breath Followed Celegorm, but chose a path of death He saw the maiden trapped, the justice sleeping While in the stone tower, she was weeping He broke the ancient collar, the loyalty was torn For the first time, a voice was born: [Interlude 1 - The First Speech] "Lady of the Light, the shadows draw near My master's betrayal is the thing you should fear Climb upon my back, cast your doubt away I will guide you to love, before the break of day!" [Pre-Chorus] The doom was written in stars and in ground Only the greatest wolf will bring me down Three times the voice I was granted to speak Three times the silence I shall break! [Chorus] Huan! The hunter of shadow and light Huan! The loyalty burning so bright Silver fangs against the dark gate Facing the jaws of my fate! Three times the voice, three times the pain The howl that breaks the iron chain! [Verse 3] They reached the Gates of Angband, the realm of dread Where Thuringwethil flew overhead To fool the Dark Lord in his hall of stone Huan spoke again, in an opinion tone: [Interlude 2 - The Second Speech] "Before the throne where the Shadows never sleep The doom is ancient, the terror is deep Wear the skin of the wolf and the bat For a bloody fate is where we are at!" [Verse 4] The Hell-Wolf Carcharoth, from the pit he came Venom and fire, eyes of burning flame Huan fought with silver fangs and steel Slew the demon, but his fate was sealed Poison in the blood, vision turning gray To Beren, his friend, he had one last thing to say: [Bridge - The Third Speech] "My time has ended, the hunt is done I fade away beneath the setting sun Farewell, my friend, the doom was spun I die in peace... for the battle is won." [Pre-Chorus] The doom was written in stars and in ground Only the greatest wolf will bring me down Three times the voice I was granted to speak Three times the silence I shall break! [Chorus] Huan! The hunter of shadow and light Huan! The loyalty burning so bright Silver fangs against the dark gate Facing the jaws of my fate! Three times the voice, three times the pain The howl that breaks the iron chain! [Outro] The hound... rests.
