Lyrics The Last Wolf - Darkwood

The Last Wolf

When I was a child with hair so bright
I heard of a story of wolves
In the Prussian woods
The last wolf was shot
At least this is what I’ve been told
At the end of the village
There was a house so weak
With a wooden door painted black
A man lived there with grayish hair
A fool, they said, be aware
A man lived there with grayish hair
A fool, they said, be aware
In the daytime he never ever spoke a word
In the common places never be seen
But at night, whn passing his house secretly
You can har him talking unreal
One night I dreamt a wolf would cross his garden
And suddenly jump over the fence
With he was looking towards me
In a second he will flee
With he was looking towards me
In a second he will flee
I ask my neighbor about the grayish man
But he just refused to tell
This man is so weird
He will never drink or share in the habits of all
Except the people who would buy his carvings
His figures, they seemed so real
The dice, as if they were piercing right through you
Through your heart and your soul
The dice, as if they were piercing right through you
Through your heart and your soul
I stabbed my name
Talking about his father
Who strangely died years ago
He died in his sleep
But crying out loud
I swear it went right through
He was the hunter who shot the last wolf
Falling astray, year after year
He shot down the wolf, with a single bullet
He said it went right through
He shot down the wolf, with a single bullet
He said it went right through
Strangely, he couldn’t find his corpse
Just a carving on the ground
And I wonder
Oh I wonder why
His body was never found
They call him a liar
Though the wolf was gone
And nobody had to fear
But I wonder
Oh I wonder why
His body was never found
And I wonder
Oh I wonder why
His body was never found
When I was child with hair so bright
I heard of a story of old
In the Prussian woods
The wolf was shot
At least this is what I’ve been told
