**Intro** *(whispered over sparse guitar)* "Bind me with chains spun from silence, Feed me the moon’s silver tongue... But when your lies grow too heavy— Even gods will be undone." **Verse 1** They called me beast, so I bared my teeth, Gnawed through the fables they fed. Odin’s hand trembled—his one-eyed stare Watched as the skyline bled. **Chorus** *(soaring, percussive)* I am the howl in the hollow of night, The crack in the altar of old! You forged your own end when you leashed a storm— Now taste the *folly* you stole! **Verse 2** Gleipnir’s threads bit like winter, But laughter still shook my throat. "Keeper of runes, you’ve bound nothing— Only the noose *you* wrote." **Bridge** *(descending melody, tense)* The sun drowns in crimson, The roots twist and groan... Your fate was sealed The day you called me *"loathsome"*— And left me *hungry*... alone. **Verse 3** Now the high hall’s pillars shudder, Tyr’s shadow clings to my paw. The Allfather’s breath comes ragged— *His* doom gnaws at the door. **Chorus** *(repeat, more dissonant)* I am the howl in the hollow of night... **Verse 4** *(sparse, whispered)* "Child of chaos," they cursed me, Yet *they* broke the first law: To fear a wolf’s hunger Is to *become* its maw... **Bridge** *(instrumental swell, then abrupt silence)* *(growled)* "Ragnarök’s chorus— You taught me the tune." **Outro** *(dying embers of sound)* The chain snaps... The world bends... And the fool Who named me *"monster"*— Finally *understands*.
