Road dust in my lungs,

Ashes where my name once rang.

Crossed the fire, broke the chain —

Now I walk with no one to blame.

Fangs still sharp, eyes still clear,

But I buried too much back there.

Tried love, tried rage, tried sin —

Only silence ever let me in.

I’m the lone wolf

Howling at my own damn fate.

No pack, no lies,

Just the echo I create.

Let the world burn,

Let the stories twist again —

I’ll be waiting

In my cold, clean den.

They called me beast,

Then begged me to be tame.

Loved my fire,

Then cursed me for the flame.

I gave ‘em blood, I gave ‘em bone —

Still they left me all alone.

Now the moon don’t ask for reasons,

She just glows.

I come back

To the only place I know.

I’m the lone wolf

Howling at my own damn fate.

No pack, no lies,

Just the echo I create.

Let the world burn,

Let the stories twist again —

I’ll be waiting

In my cold, clean den.

Don’t need your prayers.

Don’t want your cage.

This heart still beats

Outside the stage.

I’m the lone wolf

No god, no shame, no debt.

Scars like stars —

I ain't done yet.

So howl if you hear me

Through the snow and wind —

I’m alive,

And I’m never letting them in.
