The Wolf
Lyriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over the glaring white mountains
By night you hear the wolves howl
Hungry, desperate souls
Dying a bitter winter death
Moonlight in his eye
His narrow shadow glinting in the whiteness
He turns his head into the wind
Picks up the trail
He's on the prowl with glassy eyes
He never sleeps, bargain for live
Take a look around, can't you see the wind, the hills, the snow
They're yours; they're his as well as mine
Most precious gift in desperate times
A haggard man with tired steps and a loaded gun
Waiting in the glaring white mountains
By night he hears the wolves howl
Hungry, desperate souls
Dying a bitter winter death
Moonlight in his eye
A sudden move in densely copse
The bottom line,
A sounding shot, a tortured cry
And fleeing gaits lost in the night
Take a look around, can't you see the wind, the hills, the snow
They're yours; they're his as well as mine
Most precious gift in desperate times
On and on he stumbles through the woods
Warm blood trickles down, down, down
Step by step, the hunter's there
But he couldn't see the brightness of the moon
As he ends his work
Take a look around, can't you see the wind, the hills, the snow
They're yours; they're his as well as mine
Most precious gift in desperate times
Lyriel's song "The Wolf" tells the story of a harsh winter and the struggle for survival in the wild. The lyrics begin by describing the winter as "cruelly cold and long," setting the stage for a tale of hardship and struggle. As the song progresses, we learn of the wolves that roam the land, hungry and desperate for food in the unforgiving landscape. The haggard wolf is compared to a ghost, and the hunter waiting in the mountains is described as tired and burdened with a loaded gun.
The lyrics speak to the interconnectedness of life, as both the wolves and the humans rely on the same precious resources to survive. The wind, the hills, and the snow are all shared, and the struggle to survive in the bitter winter is a common experience. The hunter stalks his prey, taking a life to sustain his own, while the wolf must find a way to survive against insurmountable odds. At the end of the song, we see the hunter stumble through the woods, injured and unaware of the beauty that surrounds him, illustrating the cost of survival in such a harsh world.
Line by Line Meaning
Never had been so cruelly cold and long a winter
This winter has been brutal and seemingly endless
Over the glaring white mountains
The snow-covered mountains make the bitter winter appear even harsher
By night you hear the wolves howl
The sound of wolves howling can be heard at night
Hungry, desperate souls
The wolves are searching for food and are in dire need
Dying a bitter winter death
The wolves are succumbing to the harsh and unforgiving winter
Moonlight in his eye
The light of the full moon shines in the eyes of the wolf
A haggard wolf as furtive as a ghost
The wolf is worn out and sneaks around like a ghost
His narrow shadow glinting in the whiteness
The wolf's thin outline can be seen shining in the snow
He turns his head into the wind
The wolf faces the wind to catch any scents of prey
Picks up the trail
The wolf has found the scent of prey and follows it
He's on the prowl with glassy eyes
The wolf is alert and focused, with a steely gaze
He never sleeps, bargain for live
The wolf is constantly hunting and fighting for survival
Take a look around, can't you see the wind, the hills, the snow
The lyrics urge the listener to appreciate the natural beauty and power of their surroundings
They're yours; they're his as well as mine
Everyone and everything shares the same environment
Most precious gift in desperate times
The beauty of nature is especially precious during times of hardship
A haggard man with tired steps and a loaded gun
There is a man who is exhausted and carrying a gun
Waiting in the glaring white mountains
The man is waiting in the snow-covered mountains
A sudden move in densely copse
There is a sudden movement in a thick group of trees
The bottom line,
The end result is
A sounding shot, a tortured cry
A gunshot can be heard followed by the painful cry of an animal
And fleeing gaits lost in the night
The animal runs away, leaving only the sound of its footsteps
On and on he stumbles through the woods
The man walks through the forest, stumbling a bit
Warm blood trickles down, down, down
Blood from the animal's wound flows down, down, down
Step by step, the hunter's there
The hunter follows the blood trail step by step
But he couldn't see the brightness of the moon
The man is so focused on his hunt that he doesn't appreciate the beauty of the moon
As he ends his work
The man succeeds in his hunt
