[Intro] Moonlight bleeds across the trees, Cold wind whispers through the leaves. Something waits beyond the stone, A broken kingdom, left alone. [Verse 1] I followed silver through the pines, Past crooked roots and warning signs. The forest held its breath for me, Then opened like a hungry sea. There stood a mansion, black and wide, With iron gates thrown open wide. A hundred windows, dark as graves, And ivy crawling through the frames. [Pre-Chorus] No candle burned, no bell was rung, But somewhere deep, a song was sung. The walls were calling out my name, And every shadow knew the same. [Chorus] Welcome to the House of Wolves, Where the moonlight fills the halls. Where the portraits watch you breathe, And the dead refuse to leave. Welcome to the House of Wolves, Come inside, don't fear the night. Every door remembers you, Every room is waiting too. [Verse 2] I crossed the gate beneath the moon, The old brass hinges sang too soon. A chandelier began to sway, Though there was no wind that night. Dust danced beneath my restless feet, The grand staircase rose to meet A hallway stretching out of sight, Lit by the pale and dying light. [Pre-Chorus] Then from the walls came distant cries, Like laughter buried years ago. A thousand eyes behind the glass Were watching as I slowly passed. [Chorus] Welcome to the House of Wolves, Where the moonlight fills the halls. Where the portraits watch you breathe, And the dead refuse to leave. Welcome to the House of Wolves, Come inside, don't fear the night. Every door remembers you, Every room is waiting too. [Bridge] I heard a growl beneath the floor, Then three slow knocks upon the door. Not from outside— Not from the hall— Something living Underneath it all. The wolf inside me raised its head, I tasted fear, I tasted dread. But in that house beneath the moon, I knew I'd find what called me soon. [Final Chorus] Welcome to the House of Wolves, Where the lost are never lost. Where the midnight knows your name, And the darkness wears your face. Welcome to the House of Wolves, Let the blackened candles shine. I came here searching for a home— Now the house has made me mine. [Outro] Moonlight fades behind the trees, The manor whispers through the breeze. I close the door, I hear it breathe... The House of Wolves has welcomed me.
