[Verse 1] There's a path through the forest where the sunlight dies, Where the branches are fingers and the darkness has eyes. My father said, "Son, never wander alone, When the moon rises red over the old standing stone." But I heard someone calling from the far side of the hill, And the night grew colder, and the world grew still. Now the trees are closing, and the wind has turned, And the warning that he gave me is a lesson learned. [Chorus] When the wolves begin to sing, Hide your face and fear the spring. When the red moon climbs the sky, Something wakes that should not rise. Hear them calling through the trees, Feel the darkness on the breeze. When the wolves begin to sing, Run before they find their king. [Verse 2] There's a farmhouse abandoned by the old black stream, Where the windows are shattered and the walls still dream. A silver chain hangs from a rusted door, And the ground is scratched where something dragged before. I see yellow eyes in the mist below, Hear a thousand paws where no feet should go. And a figure stands waiting where the path runs deep, With a man's torn coat and a wolf's black teeth. [Chorus] When the wolves begin to sing, Hide your face and fear the spring. When the red moon climbs the sky, Something wakes that should not rise. Hear them calling through the trees, Feel the darkness on the breeze. When the wolves begin to sing, Run before they find their king. [Bridge – Quiet, with distant howls] I thought I heard my father's voice, I thought I had a final choice. But now my hands are turning white, And I can smell the fear tonight. [Final Chorus – Powerful, primal] When the wolves begin to sing, Hear the night its darkness bring. Underneath the blood-red sky, I will run, but I don't know why. Hear them calling through the trees, Something answers from inside of me. When the wolves begin to sing… [Outro – Low growl] The pack has found its king. [End – Wolves howling into silence]
