Night of the Wolf Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Far beyond the forest in a land of ice and snow
When the full moon rises and shadows start to grow
When man becomes the hunted, screaming in the night
On your knees and pray to God to keep the beasts from sight

[Chorus]
Night of the Wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the Wolf
Howling at the moon

[Verse 2]
The hounds of hell are calling, hunting in the pack
Keep the fires burning, never turn your back
Are they in the darkness, watching in the night?
Waiting for a weakness before they make a strike

[Chorus]
Night of the Wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the Wolf
Howling at the moon

[Bridge]
They're fighting for survival, it's the only thing they know
Far beyond the forest in the land of ice and snow

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Far beyond the forest in a land of ice and snow
When the full moon rises and shadows start to grow
Are they in the darkness, watching in the night?
On your knees and pray to God to keep the wolves from sight

[Chorus]
Night of the Wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the Wolf
Howling at the moon

Night of the Wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the Wolf
Howling at the moon
Night of the Wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the Wolf
Howling at the moon

It portrays the fear and danger felt by the victims as the wolves howl and stalk their prey, emphasizing the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
