Darkwood - The Last Wolf lyrics
[Darkwood - The Last Wolf lyrics]
When I was a child with hair so bright
I heard of a story of wolves
In the PRussian woods the last wolf was shot
At least this is what I've been told
At the end of the village
There was a house so weak
With a wooden door painted black
A man lived there with grayish hair
A fool, they said, be aware
A man lived there with grayish hair
A fool, they said, be aware
In the daytime he never ever spoke a word
In the common places never be seen
But at night, whеn passing his house secretly
You can hеar him talking unreal
One night I dreamt a wolf
Would cross his garden
And suddenly jump over the fence
With gleaming eyes he was looking towards me
In a second he will flee
With gleaming eyes he was looking towards me
In a second he will flee
I ask my neighbor about the grayish man
But he just refused to tell
This man is so weird
He will never drink or share
In the habit's of all
Except the people that would buy his carvings
His figures, they seemed so real the eyes
As if they were piercing right through you
Through your heart and your soul the eyes
As if they were piercing right through you
Through your heart and your soul
I talking about his father
Who strangely died years ago
He died in his sleep but crying out loud
I swear it went right through
He was the hunter who shot the last wolf
Falling astray, year after year
He shot down the wolf with a single bullet
He said it went right through
He shot down the wolf with a single bullet
He said it went right through
Strangely, he couldn't find his corpse
Just a carving on the ground and I wonder
Oh I wonder why his body was never found
They call him a liar
Though the wolf was gone
And nobody had to fear but I wonder
Oh I wonder why his body was never found
And I wonder oh I wonder why
His body was never found
When I was child with hair so bright
I heard of a story of old
In the PRussian woods the wolf was shot
At least this is what I've been told
I heard of a story of wolves
In the PRussian woods the last wolf was shot
At least this is what I've been told
At the end of the village
There was a house so weak
With a wooden door painted black
A man lived there with grayish hair
A fool, they said, be aware
A man lived there with grayish hair
A fool, they said, be aware
In the daytime he never ever spoke a word
In the common places never be seen
But at night, whеn passing his house secretly
You can hеar him talking unreal
One night I dreamt a wolf
Would cross his garden
And suddenly jump over the fence
With gleaming eyes he was looking towards me
In a second he will flee
With gleaming eyes he was looking towards me
In a second he will flee
I ask my neighbor about the grayish man
But he just refused to tell
This man is so weird
He will never drink or share
In the habit's of all
Except the people that would buy his carvings
His figures, they seemed so real the eyes
As if they were piercing right through you
Through your heart and your soul the eyes
As if they were piercing right through you
