[verse 1] Autumn leaves have fallen The nights are growing longer The creatures hibernate in their lair [verse 2] A wind blows from the north The days are getting colder Silent snow is in the air [chorus] And a wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter A wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter [verse 3] Frozen lakes hidden from sight A frozen winter landscape Sculptures carved by the storm [verse 4] Villagers sat by their fires As the blizzard roars around them At home trying to keep warm [chorus] And a wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter A wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter [guitar solo - syncopated drums] [guitar solo] [bridge - Syncopated Drums] The beauty, the harshness of nature Only the strongest of us can withstand To make it through to the dawning of spring To reap the fruits of the laa-and [instrumental break] [chorus] And a wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter A wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter [guitar solo] [chorus] And a wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter A wolf howls in the night To the spirit of winter [ending]
