lyrics

UGHHHHHH
Left to die
A young girl trudges
Blood beneath her nails
Flesh between her fangs
UH
Vintra, seen by the few chosen
You grant the child sympathy
A touch so comforting and frozen
A song endearing and serene
How winter dresses somber nights
How spirits follow you
My eyeless queen of the moonlight
They’ve gathered at your tune
A ritual to unify
A human with her inner beast
Now every plant and creature chants
The demon’s rites bequeathed
I journeyed through the embers
That burned in every soul
Preparing to drown me in terror infernal
The hatred would follow
I yearned just for a home
Exiled to the forest to die amongst the cold
I stand now in the presence
Of ghosts arboreal
Their words, so kind and soothing, I submit to their call
Inside, it asks for freedom
This time I do not fight
Releasing my true self, a wolf descends into the night
A pleasure unknown
To run and leap amongst the snow
It was fear that they plagued me with
And fear shall be the last thing that they know
She returns to her village now
To satiate a lifetime’s hunger
Devoured ruthlessly
A village, prey to her dark anger
Not one survivor left the carnage
The blood of the white wolf runs through her
Her bloody vengeance now accomplished
She howls the song learned from her savior
