Phil Campbell - In the Year of the Wolf lyrics

In the year of the wolf All the world smelt good In the show and the ice All the rest was blood In the time of the tribes We took a thousand lives When I ran with the wolves And the hunting was good See me now, I was another Not like me When the wolves were brothers See me now, you cannot know The kind of food that made me grow It was the wolf in me Body and soul on fire In the cold full moon Blood-red desire It was the wolf in me You know it felt so true The night I ran with the wolves Tonight I come for you In the year of the wolf How could you ever know? There in the forest I had teeth to show In a different time When the world was mine When I ran as a wolf And the sun burnt low See me now, I was another Mean and vicious, fast and clever See me now, you would not dream The food I ate, the food that screamed It was the wolf in me And all my soul was fire By the cold dull moon Blood-red desire It was the wolf in me I howled the cold night through The year I ran as a wolf Tonight the food is you In the year of the wolf All the tribe ran mad On the frozen lake and I felt so glad With tooth and claw All your blood and more When I ran with the wolves And the hunt turned bad See me now, this is not me Not like the one I used to be See me now, you would not guess A different heart raving in my chest It was the wolf in me When the world was cold It was the life I lived In the dark world below It was the wolf in me Crying and howling too I was crying for the hunt But I was hunting for you
