[Intro – whispered, ritualistic | low drone, distant horse rhythm]
Ash on the wind…
Blood in the snow…
He walks where even gods won’t go…

[Faint Slavic chant rising beneath]
Velka noc… krew i los…

[Verse 1 – deep, controlled, storytelling]
Steel sings low in a broken land
Where kings wear crowns but fear one man
Eyes like storms, no soul to claim
They gave him coin, they gave him blame
Child of trials, carved in pain
Stripped of warmth, remade in flame
No hearth, no name he calls his own
Just roads that whisper: walk alone

[Pre-Chorus – tension rising, cello tremolo]
They spit the word like it’s a curse
“Mutant… butcher…” whispered worse
But when the dark begins to crawl
They beg the wolf to end it all

[Chorus – powerful, melodic, double kick enters]
WHITE WOLF RUNNING THROUGH THE NIGHT
Eyes of fire, blade of light
No gods, no mercy, no release
Only war… pretending peace
WHITE WOLF, BOUND BY FATE
Loving late… and losing late
In every scar, a silent cry
He saves the world… then walks on by

[Verse 2 – darker, more intimate tone]
Golden eyes see too much truth
Every monster wears a proof
Not all claws and not all teeth
Some hide hearts that barely breathe
Coins in hand, but never enough
Every path is carved in rough
Kill the beast or spare the soul
Either way… it takes its toll

[Pre-Chorus – whispered + layered voices]
Destiny hums beneath his skin
A thread he never asked to spin
A child of stars, a bond so tight
Even wolves can’t outrun light

[Chorus – heavier, more aggressive guitars]
WHITE WOLF RUNNING THROUGH THE NIGHT
Horse beneath him, ghost in sight
Every road a cursed decree
Every choice… a tragedy
WHITE WOLF, HEART IN CHAINS
Love like fire, loss like rain
He feels it all but never shows
A storm beneath the falling snow

[Bridge – ritualistic, eerie, whispered male vocals + chant]

[Low drums, ambient pads, distant thunder]

“Kaer Morhen… кровь и сталь…”
Blood and steel…
He drinks the poison… becomes the blade
A man unmade… a myth remade

[Whispered, seductive, close]
She calls his name… in violet flame
But love… and fate… are never the same

[Cello tremolo rises, heartbeat rhythm]

[Verse 3 – intimate, slow, emotional peak]
There was a night… no swords, no war
Just quiet breath… and something more
Her fingers traced the lines he hides
The ghosts, the scars, the things inside
He almost stayed… he almost tried
To lay the wolf and beast aside
But dawn came cold, like it always does
And took away… what almost was

[Final Chorus – epic, emotional, full instrumentation]
WHITE WOLF HOWLING AT THE SKY
Never asking why… why… why…
Every love a fleeting flame
Every victory tastes the same
WHITE WOLF, FOREVER ALONE
No kingdom… just a throne of stone
He walks the path no one survives
A legend cursed… to save their lives

[Outro – fading, whisper + horse rhythm slowing]
Ash on the wind…
Blood in the snow…
He walks where even gods won’t go…

[Final whisper]
…Geralt…
