Rehearsal demo.
The idea of the lyrics is a wolf reflecting on its surroundings in winter, and criticizing the evil it finds in the world built by mankind. I previously decided not to add lyrics, but I figured I should at least try to pick out some words. The results are below.
1) I (intro)
1:27, instrumental
2) II
5:49, partial lyrics/guesses:
(?) this black forest
With wolven visage
And my soul cold in the wind
(?)
Howling, my breath visible in the wind
Screaming out, howling in the night
(?)
... Of these past 24 years
And still (?)
(?) cold winter (?)
(?) can feel alive
(?) this coldness tearing against me
3) III
6:44, partial lyrics/guesses:
(?) walk up the mountain
My paws (?) in the snow
The mountain travelled
So, so long ago
(?) in the cold wind
(?) in the cold
I wander toward its top
(?) the sky aglow
(?)
I don't relent
I feel a calling
Deep in my, my wolven soul
The wind blowing in my face
(?) the snow
(?) trees (?) the ground
(?) highest mountains in the north
(?) beyond the shores
To where I see beyond
Beyond the trees
To where the (?)
Leads onto (?)
And higher on
My journey goes on to (?)
Evermore clear
Through the snow
Now I know (?)
4) IV
10:21, partial lyrics/guesses:
We told your kind for as long as we can remember
You ignored our call, now your world is burning embers
Disgraced down further, by wasting our time
We tried to save you, and now it's time
This world is going to Hell
All (?)
This wickedness will leave our planet entombed
(?) Though the stars shine
It feels so dark
Though the stars shine
On the mountains and the snow
There seems to be (?)
What have you done, mankind?
You brought us down so far
Your sins will kill us all
Will we live to see the last shining star?
(?) with pollution (?)
You scarred the face of creation by making it your deathbed
There is nowhere left
You killed everything
Even what's left will die
(?) the few that remain
Everything is falling
(?) seen the stars
Mankind, what have you done?
The world you were given charge of is dying
This malice that you brought from your very first
Are killing everything that's walking and flying
Mankind, what have you done?
(?) Where has our world gone?
Now you are going down to Hell
