The wolf

[Start] [Verse 1] In a rain-soaked town where the daylight fades to grey A silent witness feels the hours decay Cold faces pass like echoes through the hall Eyes like frost that never seem to fall [Verse 2] Deep in the woods, the earth begins to groan A hidden tribe defends what they have known Bones shift like thunder under muted skies Ancient rage behind their human guise [Chorus] The wolf runs circles where the silence breaks He tastes the fear that every heartbeat makes A frozen kind with hunger carved in bone They move like ghosts but hunt when light is gone The wolf stands guard where ancient curses bind He tracks the sins they bury out of mind Between two worlds that grind and never heal A war takes shape that neither side can seal [Verse 3] A fragile gaze now sees beneath their skin A thinning veil stretched tight with hidden sin The forest hums a warning dark and low While every path denies a way to go [Verse 4] The ageless ones protect their endless reign With quiet threats that drip like steady rain But claws awaken, tearing through the lie A ruthless clash no force can pacify [Chorus] The wolf runs circles where the silence breaks He tastes the fear that every heartbeat makes A frozen kind with hunger carved in bone They move like ghosts but hunt when light is gone The wolf stands guard where ancient curses bind He tracks the sins they bury out of mind Between two worlds that grind and never heal A war takes shape that neither side can seal [Bridge] No gentle end, no mercy left to give Just teeth and time deciding who may live The forest keeps its verdict cold and clear No soul walks out untouched by what waits here [Final Chorus] The wolf runs circles where the silence breaks He tastes the fear that every heartbeat makes A frozen kind with hunger carved in bone They move like ghosts but hunt when light is gone The wolf stands guard where ancient curses bind He tracks the sins they bury out of mind Between the dusk and dawn he claims the right To end the war beneath a starving night [End]
