In the Year of the Wolf - Motörhead

In the year of the wolf

All the world smelt good

In the show and the ice

All the rest was blood

In the time of the tribes

We took a thousand lives

When I ran with the wolves

And the hunting was good

See me now, I was another

Not like me

When the wolves were brothers

See me now, you cannot know

The kind of food that made me grow

It was the wolf in me

Body and soul on fire

In the cold full moon

Blood-red desire

It was the wolf in me

You know it felt so true

The night I ran with the wolves

Tonight I come for you

In the year of the wolf

How could you ever know?

There in the forest

I had teeth to show

In a different time

When the world was mine

When I ran as a wolf

And the sun burnt low

See me now, I was another

Mean and vicious, fast and clever

See me now, you would not dream

The food I ate, the food that screamed

It was the wolf in me

And all my soul was fire

By the cold dull moon

Blood-red desire

It was the wolf in me

I howled the cold night through

The year I ran as a wolf

Tonight the food is you

In the year of the wolf

All the tribe ran mad

On the frozen lake and I felt so glad

With tooth and claw

All your blood and more

When I ran with the wolves

And the hunt turned bad

See me now, this is not me

Not like the one I used to be

See me now, you would not guess

A different heart raving in my chest

It was the wolf in me

When the world was cold

It was the life I lived

In the dark world below

It was the wolf in me

Crying and howling too

I was crying for the hunt

But I was hunting for you
