Bewitched Wolves
Arcane Grail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Verses by Demether; music by Eugen)

The peccant beasts with eyes of fire rise
They couldn't stay in holes at late cold night
The call of freedom screams in brave wargs' hearts
These beasts were born to live and die in fight

Wargs few in number but they're passing strong
Soon they would know what ever they did wrong
Great lord of damned would lead the pack of wolves
To fight in battle under weight of ghouls

The pack of wargs sneaks through the arcane wood
They don't know what waits them at the end
Their gaze fall to the misty bit of land
"Obscurity beckons the wolves into the magic rood"

The lead took the pack through the thicket,
Ominous calm 'rounds bloodthirsty creatures
Erenow they were the servants of the evil,
But now wolves alarmed by smell of demons

Somber willows bowed its blooming sprays,
The growth doesn't put the charming rays
Of nephrite plenilune, who spells in the skies –
Primeval fear penetrates through their hearts

Wargs ran across this magic place of ghouls
The blackthorns shield the entrance with its horned
Limbs, which began to prick the frenzied wolves –
Bloodcurdling howl proclaims the wood of throned

The King arose by the arrival of the foes
From this enchanted-weird sod
Uncertainty why some wolves gan to fawn –
Goth squeezed in the hand his succinite sword

But all at once the leader of the wargs
Was throwing to attack onto the frigging prince from vug
Wistful death awaited him upon the edge of blade
The rite of genuflexion commenced in dole slade

"Wolves, I prithee to bring me" – said the king
"We'd be thy eyes" – answered beasts in iniquitous
Oath, swore in loyalty and kissed the sparkle ring
This observance was so august, grand and tremendous

Germanareh's dominance!

"Our dan, my pack shall howl with your voice,
And we shall paunch and lacerate thy moonlit foes!"

Their new despiteful potentate was the great villain
He wants to march with the wargs into war
But the bridle presseth the wolves so sore
Their souls embittered, bewitched for evermore!





For evermore!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Arcane Grail's song "Bewitched Wolves" speaks of a pack of peccant beasts with eyes of fire who rise from their holes at late cold night, driven by the call of freedom that screams in their brave hearts. These beasts were born to live and die in fight. Wargs, few in number, but passing strong, soon find themselves led by the great lord of the damned to fight in battle under the weight of ghouls. The pack of wargs sneaks through the arcane wood, headed towards a misty bit of land that beckons to them. They are uncertain of what waits at the end of the road, but their leader takes them through the thicket, where they encounter somber willows and bloodthirsty creatures that were once their masters of evil. The wolves are now alarmed by the smell of demons and primeval fear penetrates through their hearts.


As the pack runs across the magic place of ghouls, they face a series of obstacles, including blackthorns that shield the entrance with its horned limbs, which begin to prick their frenzied wolves. The king arises by the arrival of the foes from the enchanted, weird sod. The leader of the wargs throws himself into the attack, only to be killed on the edge of the blade. The bewitched wolves swear an iniquitous oath to their new despiteful potentate, who is the great villain. He wants to march with the wargs into war, but the bridle presseth the wolves so sore, and their souls are embittered, bewitched for evermore.


In summary, the song tells a story of a pack of wargs who are bewitched by the great villain and are subsequently forced to fight with ghouls, despite their desire for freedom.


Line by Line Meaning

The peccant beasts with eyes of fire rise
The sinful beasts with eyes that burn brightly emerge


They couldn't stay in holes at late cold night
They could not remain in their dwellings during the late and frosty night


The call of freedom screams in brave wargs' hearts
The desire for autonomy forcefully resonates within the courageous wolves' spirits


These beasts were born to live and die in fight
These creatures were born to exist and pass away through battle


Wargs few in number but they're passing strong
Although the wargs are scarce, they are exceedingly powerful


Soon they would know what ever they did wrong
In due time, they will realize any mistakes they have made


Great lord of damned would lead the pack of wolves
The mighty ruler of the cursed would guide the pack of wolves


To fight in battle under weight of ghouls
To engage in combat under the influence of malevolent spirits


The pack of wargs sneaks through the arcane wood
The group of wargs quietly moves through the mystical forest


They don't know what waits them at the end
They are unaware of what awaits them at the conclusion of their journey


"Obscurity beckons the wolves into the magic rood"
The darkness lures the wolves to the enchanted path


The lead took the pack through the thicket,
The leader takes the group through the dense foliage,


Ominous calm 'rounds bloodthirsty creatures
A terrifying tranquility encompasses the bloodthirsty animals


Erenow they were the servants of the evil,
Previously, they were the minions of malevolence


But now wolves alarmed by smell of demons
Yet now the wolves are disturbed by the scent of demons


Somber willows bowed its blooming sprays,
The gloomy willows bend their flowering branches


The growth doesn't put the charming rays
The flourishing vegetation does not emit charming beams of light


Of nephrite plenilune, who spells in the skies –
Of the bright jade-colored full moon, which spreads magic throughout the skies


Primeval fear penetrates through their hearts
An ancestral dread pervades their hearts


Wargs ran across this magic place of ghouls
Wargs race through this mystical land of malevolent spirits


The blackthorns shield the entrance with its horned
The blackthorn shrubs protect the entrance with their sharp protrusions


Limbs, which began to prick the frenzied wolves –
Branches, which start to prick the frenzied wolves in the group


Bloodcurdling howl proclaims the wood of throned
A terrifying howl announces that this is the forest of the supernatural ruling class


The King arose by the arrival of the foes
The King stands up when the enemy arrives


From this enchanted-weird sod
From this magically peculiar terrain


Uncertainty why some wolves gan to fawn –
Unclear why some wolves begin to grovel


Goth squeezed in the hand his succinite sword
Goth grips his amber-colored sword tightly


But all at once the leader of the wargs
Suddenly, the head of the wargs


Was throwing to attack onto the frigging prince from vug
Launches an aggressive attack on the hateful prince from the Vugar tribe


Wistful death awaited him upon the edge of blade
Melancholic death awaited him at the sharp end of the sword


The rite of genuflexion commenced in dole slade
The ceremony of kneeling began in a place of grief and sorrow


"Wolves, I prithee to bring me" – said the king
"Wolves, I beg of you to guide me," said the king


"We'd be thy eyes" – answered beasts in iniquitous
"We will be your guides," responded the wicked beasts


Oath, swore in loyalty and kissed the sparkle ring
An oath sworn in loyalty, sealed with a kiss upon the twinkling ring


This observance was so august, grand and tremendous
This pledge was so magnificent, impressive, and awe-inspiring


Germanareh's dominance!
The reign of Germanareh!


"Our dan, my pack shall howl with your voice,
"Our lord, my pack shall howl in unison with you,


And we shall paunch and lacerate thy moonlit foes!"
And we shall gut and tear apart your foes illuminated by the moonlight!"


Their new despiteful potentate was the great villain
Their new spiteful ruler was the terrible antagonist


He wants to march with the wargs into war
He desires to go to war with the wargs


But the bridle presseth the wolves so sore
But the muzzle causes immense discomfort to the wolves


Their souls embittered, bewitched for evermore!
Their spirits were embittered, cursed for eternity!
