It sounds like another werewolf song. A great job by Sonata Arctica, might I add.
"I have always known the storm would come...
Listen now, my young ones
This not a story I tell
of midnight, moon and sun...
Are you ready to walk the forbidden road
learn again what we tried to forget
The dark can now take over you"
Lyrics are retelling of their past of being werewolves, different from humans. The dark can now take over you is a reference to the full moon, which causes them to change to their wolf-like forms.
“We have a common past, an ancient bond
The people once broke
We would only take what we need,
They would harvest our weak,
But they hunted us all,
We ended the last of them, thus far, ten lifetimes ago
In hopes of healing the sore, but the war still went on”
Again, about humans hatred of such creatures. They were hunted until very few remained, and they remain in hiding to survive.
“Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I ain't gonna see you taken away...
Heading for the dawn
Of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver
This ain't your fairy tale...”
About the hunting of them, again. Apparently, the narrator is hoping that they and her children and family wont be discovered as what they really are, and run to keep themselves hidden. This ain’t your fairy tale probably means that it is the truth, this is real, you can’t close your eyes and it would simply go away.
“It took us many years to teach them
How to cry wolf
We made the people serve the purpose
Those ignorant fools... my young ones!
Teach the ones below you something you've learned.
And learn from the ones above you
Fear is your deepest wisdom
For these last days...”
They revenged by making people fear them, afraid of them, despite what the werewolves wanted.
“The ones who seek justice,
will pray for it all their lives... They can
and they will skin us all one day...
oh can you hear them cries As far as
the man can run from us we're following
the trail of blood So hunt my
young ones, the pack they have always feared is back”
The wolves want justice to the wrongs done to their race. The leader wants the pack to hunt down the humans who took their own and make them regret ever doing it.
“They don't fear the wolf, but the wild within
no glory to the way this must end
This is a story I told
Unfolding before you”
This is bound to happen for all eternity, for as long as they exist. They have to live with this curse, and for as long as they do, they will be hated and hunted.
