The Wolf Howls At Night

The wolf howls in the night
To this day I'm not certain why

Maybe because the pack is asleep
Maybe time passed him by

Maybe because he lost a soulmate
Maybe because of the food that he ate

Maybe because he defended his own
Maybe because he just feels so alone

Now the last one is tough cuz there's others around
But when the dust clears no one there holding down

So when the moons full he just picks his head high
Catch a glimpse of the moon sheds a tear and then cries

Calling to those who are feeling the same
Through circumstance strange, or they are to blame

The wolf howls in the night that is true
Because I am the wolf and the moon, that is you
