It was the harshest winter I have ever known
Standing lost in the forest many miles from home
Snow was falling fast and the night was closing in
Fighting for my life when I knew I couldn't win
Usually an angel takes pity on a soul
But there came a demon as I lay there so cold
Leather wings as black as coal, eyes aglowing red
Tried to clasp my hands when he spoke to me and said
Are you not wanting to be strong again?
Are you not longing to belong again?
Place your faith in me
And in time you will see
All the world is diff'rent when night's your company
So there and then I gave my word; my loyalty
Abandoned goodness as it had abandoned me
Donned a pelt of wolf fur and with it I became
All that had been promised me, all that was untamed
By mornings light made my way home, 'twas cold as death
To find you there awaiting me with bated breath
I held you close, you gazed into a stranger's eyes
And asked what had become of me: so I replied
Now is the time to be strong again
Now is our chance to belong again
Place your hand in mine
Let me open your eyes
You will see that dark is truth and all that's light is lies
