[Verse 1]
They fell
One by one
Names torn from the wind
Left in snow and smoke
I carry them now
In cracked enamel
On this battered shoulder plate
In the scorch on my skin
Their laughter echoes
Behind my teeth
Their last breaths burn
In my lungs
[Chant]
Gone is the pack
Only the path
Gone is the pack
Only the path
[Chorus]
I am the howl
With no answer
I am the fang
With no throat to guard
Let the sky burn
Let the void take
I walk alone
Until something breaks me
[Verse 2]
I remember their banners
Torn cloth
Bright paint
Now
Only threads
Caught on shattered stone
I drink from cracked flasks
Share to the ground
“Brothers
Be patient”
My voice shakes the dust
If I fall in silence
Who will know our oaths
So I carve them in armor
With a blood-wet knife
[Chant]
Name upon name
Cut into steel
Name upon name
That the dark must feel
[Chorus]
I am the howl
With no answer
I am the flame
With no hearth to warm
Let the storm come
Let the blade sing
I walk alone
Toward a worthy ending
[Bridge]
Come
Nameless beast
Come
Chosen doom
Meet me in the ruin
Meet me in the gloom
No shield wall now
No brother’s roar
Just my slow heartbeat
And your closing steps
[Chant]
One stands for many
One falls for all
One stands for many
One answers the call
[Chorus]
I am the howl
With no answer
I am the stone
Where my brothers sleep
Let the night take
Let the stars judge
I walk alone
And I do not weep
