[Intro] [Rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming] [Playful percussion, quick footsteps and distant wolf howls] [Female Narrator — theatrical, mischievous] Brook had a plan. It was not a very good plan. But it was the only plan he had. [Verse 1] [Brook — young male tenor vocals, nervous but witty] When I know that wolves are near And my friends are in their sight Maybe I can draw them far away I need to fight I throw the phone Then howl like one Maybe I can make them chase me now I toss the bones With silver hidden Poison wolves So now I need to see If cats can help me I hope this works, don’t let me flee [Chorus] [Brook — male tenor, theatrical confidence building] I’m Brook A hero in the making I’m not strong I’m not fast or agile But I’m smart Much smarter than the average dog That is my trick I’ll outsmart these wolves And maybe win Esther’s heart For all the times Lucaroth stood up for me This is my thanks I’ll make him proud of me I hope [Verse 2] [Brook — male tenor, hopeful then worried] When I return, they’re gone The place is strangely quiet Maybe they escaped alive I pray they did You came to me A wounded wolf Maybe you know where they have gone [Werewolf — harsh growling vocals] Your vampire friend betrayed you He turned your human girl And left you far behind He never came back He took your Esther And fled into the night [Brook — stunned] No, no That can’t be true [Bridge] [Music softens; distant dawn birds begin] [Brook — reflective male tenor] When I know that I’m alone Maybe they are searching now Maybe they are coming back for me They can’t be gone The morning comes The wolf will heal And soon his human face returns Maybe I should go But first I need to know They’re alive Alive somewhere I can’t give up I have to hope they will return Maybe they’ll save me Maybe they’ll make me immortal too [Outro] [Rhythmic guitar returns; tempo gradually lifts] [Brook — determined, theatrical] I won’t leave I won’t stop I won’t lose hope If they’re alive Then there’s a chance They’ll come back for me Maybe someday I’ll repay Lucaroth Maybe Esther will see That Brook can be A hero after all [Female Narrator — softly amused] And for Brook, that was enough. [Final wolf howl fading into dawn]
