Paws cut up from the frostbite ground no moon to guide me, no hunting sound Learned to sleep with one eye open wide Cause every shadow in these trees has lied Kept my head down, wore my scars like a crown A ghost with a heartbeat, never slowing down Then I caught a scent through the rain Not prey, not fear-something called my nane Didn't know if it was war or grace but my feet started running to the the place I was a lone wolf in a dark, dark forest running from the echo of my own voice found a pack in the moonlight Now the forest runs from me, from me Took the long way through the night just to find where I belong I was a lone wolf in a dark, dark forest now I lead the ones who made me strong First night they circled me, teeth all bares, sized me up like I wasn't even scared said show us what you learned to survive So I told em bout the winters alone how silence teaches you to write your own story When the river broke and the mountains cracked and the storm came howling down our backs they looked to the old, but the old looked at me Stood in the lightning didn't make a sound just felt the whole damm forest quiet down I was a lone wolf in a dark, dark forest running from the echo of my own voice found a pack in the moonlight now the forest runs from us wolves, us wolves, took the long way through the night just to find where I belong I was a lone wolf in a dark, dark forest now I howl and the whole world comes along with me
