THE ROAD ALWAYS LEADS BACK

[Intro — Female Vocal, soft and haunting] Snow on the mountain… Smoke in the sky… If you can still see the fire… You ain’t lost yet… [Verse 1 — Male Vocal] I’ve seen kingdoms drown in their own gold light Seen holy men start blood-red fights Seen proud crowns rust in the rain While nameless wolves still bore the pain I walked through deserts black with ash Cold iron towns and broken paths Every road kept carving scars Every night another war Some ran from shadows Some chased revenge Some crossed worlds they’ll never see again Some carried ghosts like loaded guns Some just needed somewhere to come from [Pre-Chorus — Male Vocal] Then the mountain rose through the winter storm Torchlight burning through the cold And for the first damn time in years… Nobody asked what broke my soul [Chorus — Male and Female Together] The road always leads back Back to the Wolves Back to the fire burning high through the cold Back to the hall where the lost ones stand Steel in our hearts and blood on our hands We came from worlds that forgot our names Storm-filled eyes and wildfire veins Now the gates still rise when the long night calls And the Wolves still howl inside these walls Enter a traveler… Leave as a Wolf… [Verse 2 — Male Vocal] There’s a vampire laughing beside a knight An old machine drinking through the night Dark elves arguing over maps While a gunslinger sleeps with his hat in his lap Blacksmith sparks in the midnight haze Scars and stories in the alehouse flames One girl singing an old war hymn Another sharpening claws again Out in the yard hear the steel ring loud Young blood trying to make us proud Old wolves watching with folded arms Knowing strength ain’t only in scars And somewhere high in the inner hall The contract board still owns us all Another hunt… Another road… Another name nobody knows [Pre-Chorus — Male Vocal] Still the fire cuts through the frostbit dark Still the banners shake in the wind And every soul that crosses here… Leaves carrying part of it with them [Chorus — Male and Female Together] The road always leads back Back to the Wolves Back to the fire burning high through the cold Back to the hall where the outcasts stand Steel in our hearts and blood on our hands We came from worlds that forgot our names Broken halos and battle chains Now the torches rise when the long night calls And the Wolves still howl inside these walls Enter a traveler… Leave as a Wolf… [Bridge — Female Vocal begins softly] Some came chasing gold… Some came hunting monsters… Some came running from the things behind their eyes… Some came cursed… Some came holy… Some walked through the gate with nothing left alive inside… [Bridge — Male Vocal joins underneath] But the Guild… The Guild remembers… Every blade… Every scar… Every promise buried beneath these stars… [Bridge — Male and Female Together] We are not kings… We are not saints… We are the fire that the cold couldn’t take… [Breakdown — Male Vocal with rough gang vocals] Raise the cups Lock the gates Storm outside but the fire still stays Through the snow Through the rain Through the blood and the endless pain Contracts carved into iron and bone No wolf walks the dark alone [Final Chorus — Full Duet and Gang Vocal Energy] The road always leads back Back to the Wolves Back to the fire burning high through the cold Back to the hall where the forgotten stand Steel in our hearts and fate in our hands We came from worlds that forgot our names Now the Crimson Moon still calls our veins And the old wolf banners still rise above A home built from war… And held together by love Enter a traveler… Leave as a Wolf… [Outro — Female Vocal, soft] Snow on the mountain… Fire in the hall… No matter how far you wander… The road always leads back…
