Lyrics
In ancient times lurked a creature
Unaware it was displaced
Born a wolf and learned a new form
Fit for the world that it faced
Pre-Chorus
It learned the shape they understood
And wore it better than it should
Chorus
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
The debt of hunger now comes due
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
Far from the stone, the wild breaks through
No need to burn the walls
It proudly raised them all
Still inside, yet displaced
So... awake and howl!
Foreign skin grew smooth with practice
Every gesture learned by heart
Human ways became instinctive
Still misplaced in every part
Pre-Chorus
It learned the shape they understood
And wore it better than it should
Chorus
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
The debt of hunger now comes due
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
Far from the stone, the wild breaks through
No need to burn the walls
It proudly raised them all
Still inside, yet displaced
So... awake and howl!
Even the wolf who's wild at heart
And howls his name by night
May become a man when duty takes hold
And the summer sun is bright
Solo
Human shadow on foreign stone
Old blood stirring in the bone
Born a wolf, never made by moon
Finds the shape it always knew
Pre-Chorus
It learned the shape they understood
And wore it better than it should
Chorus
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
The debt of hunger now comes due
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
Far from the stone, the wild breaks through
No need to burn the walls
It proudly raised them all
Still inside, yet displaced
So... awake and howl!
Chorus
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
The debt of hunger has come due
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
Within the stone, the wild breaks through
No need to burn the walls
It proudly raised them all
Still inside, still displaced
So... awake and howl!
Chorus
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
THE DEBT OF HUNGER HAS COME DUE
Awake and HOOOOOOOOOWL
WITHIN THE STONE
THE WILD BREAKS THROUGH
No need to burn the walls
IT PROUDLY RAISED THEM ALL
Still inside, still displaced
So... awake and howl!
