Wolves
The Night Lyrics

If you travel long then you will see
After a long journey, new perspectives may be gained

Far to the north a land of broken dreams
A desolate and challenging environment can shatter one's hopes and aspirations

See the sun low in the sky
The winter season brings shorter days and longer nights

Hazy red as dying fire
The sunset's glow is reminiscent of flames that are slowly burning out

Arctic nights feel like they'll never end
The darkness and isolation of the northern winter can be overwhelming

Then in a clearing through the trees
In the midst of desolation, there may be glimmers of hope or beauty

A crying child that no one sees
Amidst this stark terrain, even innocent lives may suffer unnoticed

Howling like a wolf, without a friend
The child is alone and trapped, and seeks comfort from a kindred spirit

Child of wolves
Addressing the crying child, perhaps identifying with their sense of isolation

I meet you like a friend
Extending a hand of friendship and empathizing with the child's loneliness

Now I recall it
The singer remembers their own feelings of loneliness and fear

Fear of falling
A fear of losing control, perhaps emotionally or physically

Strangely enthralling
Despite fear, the challenge of facing one's fears can be exhilarating

Go howl before the moon
Encouraging the child to embrace their nature and express themselves without shame

Do not forsake me
A plea to remain alongside the singer, to not be abandoned

Nor shall you break me
Resilience in the face of hardship and adversity

Destined to take me
The child, and by extension the artist, are fated to follow their journey together

In the winter wastelands you must hide
The harsh terrain requires survival skills and adaptability

All alone except the voice inside
Self-reliance and strength from within are essential to survive in this environment

On the hunt for easy prey
In this unforgiving landscape, even predatory actions may be necessary to survive

Sure as night will follow day
Just as certain as the cycle of day and night, life will continue amidst hardship

When the time comes I will hold so true
Even in the face of danger, the artist is committed to their alliance with the child

You must take me as you see
Acceptance of each other's nature, with no pretense or deception

In the night you come for me
The child and speaker will face danger and challenges together, no matter the cost

And I will walk once more beside of you
The two will continue their journey together, as equals

Take to higher ground with snow-capped peaks
An invitation to seek out new vistas and experiences amidst the beauty of nature

A better way to search for what you seek
By exploring new frontiers, one may find greater clarity and purpose

With your view across the world
Standing atop a mountain, one may gain a broader perspective and sense of awe

See the mighty blizzard swirl
Even amidst the beauty and serenity of nature, there may be violent and unpredictable forces

And catch a single snowflake in your hand
Grasping at fleeting moments of beauty and joy amidst the harsh reality of life

Watch it slowly turn to rain
The impermanence of beauty, and the inevitability of change

On its journey once again
All things are subject to the cycles of birth, death, and renewal

As was always and forever planned
A sense of destiny and purpose in the grand scheme of things
