Lone Wolf Under Empty Skies

[Verse 1] Pine needles soft once cushioned my stride

Brothers and sisters close by my side

Whisper of creek, the dance of the rain

Once filled with laughter, now swallowed by pain

Hunted and driven, I watch the ground fade

Stumps where tall elders once offered their shade

Footsteps uncertain, wind cold in my chest

Memories linger, give my spirit no rest

[Chorus] Moon shines pale over fallen trees

Howl carries sorrow on the frigid breeze

Once ran with many, now I search and roam

Family faded, hunger drives me home

[Post-Chorus] Ooooh, hooooo, a lone cry sighs

Ooooh, hooooo, under empty skies

[Verse 2] Forest once endless, now broken by hands

Tracks lead to silence, no prey on the land

Shadows and memories, each night I roam

The heart of a hunter with no pack, alone

[Pre-Chorus] No song of pups, no warmth near the den

Each pawstep longer than it once had been

Roots twist and tangle, but nothing grows near

Hope barely rising, drowned out by fear

[Chorus] Moon shines pale over fallen trees

Howl carries sorrow on the frigid breeze

Once ran with many, now I search and roam

Family faded, hunger drives me home

[Post-Chorus] Ooooh, hooooo, a lone cry sighs

Ooooh, hooooo, under empty skies

[Bridge] Scarred earth remembers the howl and the run

Bones of old forests bleached by the sun

Still I am seeking the mark of our trail

Pressed in the mud where our story grew pale

[Verse 3] Ribs showing sharper with each hungry night

Stars offer guidance, but not warmth or light

Once in the circle, our voices rose strong

Now only mine echoes, carrying wrong

[Pre-Chorus] Dreams of old seasons slip fading away

Calls to my family lost in the gray

I chase through the silence, I search and I strain

Hoping for plenty, I’m met with the pain

[Chorus] Moon shines pale over fallen trees

Howl carries sorrow on the frigid breeze

Once ran with many, now I search and roam

Family faded, hunger drives me home

[Post-Chorus] Ooooh, hooooo, a lone cry sighs

Ooooh, hooooo, under empty skies

Ooooh, hooooo, the hunger replies

Ooooh, hooooo, where memory lies
