Lyrics
The Wolf Is Loose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold
The belly of the whale
Refusal of return
Hollow eyes
Dry, pale legs
Howling on
Through fields and graves
Language of the sign
Symbols to our sight
Guardian to thy throne
Take on form
Daylight
Hide the skin
Cut it off
Scatter ash in the wind
Shape-shifters rolling on winds of tyrants make
Fierce lore of fanged horn, danger all the way
Night's sea reflection, the faces of bodies slain
Return to form of natural human's fate
Grown from the cold
Spirits unclean
Dealer of the days
The ice thaw
As the soldier walks through the crimson side
Researchers of aftermath
Dispelling disarming man
One-toed horses subject of Genesis
And the immigrants
Fundamental side of a human mind
Holder folk and fairies
So believe
The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold
The belly of the whale
Refusal of return
