Verse 1 (Em – C – G – D) No choice was given Childhood on the altar Forced sacrifice Vessel cracked open From the ashes of the boy The wolf now breathes (soft howl on “breathes” – rising, wounded) Verse 2 (Em – C – G – D) Wolf unchained Born in suffering and rage Never asked for this But the cost ran deep Blood on my teeth The wolf now breathes (low growl into the last “breathes”) Pre-Chorus (Bm – G – Em – F#) Alpha to my own No looking back This abyss of pain Feeds the fire Fangs spread wide The child is gone… he didn’t deserve to die (long, anguished howl on “die”)Chorus (Em – G – D – A) Claws out! Ready to fight! Feed the wolf Let it rise Claws out! Ready to fight! Feed the wolf Till I die (big, open howl / scream on “die” – FFDP-style belt) Bridge (Jinjer progressive shift) (Em – F# – G – A – then drop to C – Bm) I was the meek Now I devour the night They killed the child And left the beast alive Feed it… feed it… Or it turns on me (layered howls / demonic growls on “feed it… feed it…” – Tatiana-style intensity) Final Chorus / Outro (Em – G – D – A → hold Em) Claws out! Ready to fight! Feed the wolf Let it rise The boy is gone The monster remains Claws out! Ready to fight! Feed the wolf Till I die (final sustained howl that cracks into a scream, then fades) Verses: Em–C–G–D → steady, heavy groove (FFDP feel). Pre-Chorus: Bm–G–Em–F# → darker tension, more progressive. Chorus: Em–G–D–A → big, open, anthemic. Bridge: moves around for that Jinjer unpredictability before slamming back.
