The Storyteller
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come closer, little wolf...
The fire is burning low.
There are stories only warriors tell
When the cold night winds begin to blow.
You've heard of kings...
You've heard of gods...
You've heard where brave men stand...
But not every shadow
Walking these old mountains...
Was born from man.
Pre-Chorus
Some say it's only stories...
Some refuse to speak its name.
But every Son of the Wolf...
Learns it just the same.
Chorus
Gather close...
And mind the flame.
For not every legend
Seeks fortune or fame.
Some hunt the proud...
Some haunt the night...
And if you hear your name...
Do not answer twice.
Verse 2
They say it walks where battles end,
When shields lie cracked in dust.
Searching for the faithless hearts...
Of men who broke their trust.
It fears no spear.
It fears no sword.
No wall can bar its way.
For monsters born of cowardice...
Hunt both night and day.
Bridge
"But Grandfather..."
"Is it real?"
The old wolf smiled...
"Little one...
Does it matter?"
Final Chorus
Gather close...
Remember well...
The bravest men
Are those who live to tell.
Fear no darkness...
Fear no grave...
Only the man...
Who forgets to be brave.
Outro
The fire burned low...
The old wolf smiled...
And somewhere beyond the mountains...
Something...
Smiled back.
