Song Lyrics

Fear
And something gray has passed beside you
In the ever fading light
Time
Has no more meaning all you know
Is that there's terror in the night
What causes all your nerves to scream
It is a nightmare not a dream

It is the Hour of the Wolf
(Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

God
Has loosed a hellhound free
To feed upon the prey of his desire
Death
Has come alive within a creature
With the eyes of burning fire
There is a tingling in your brain
You want to run but you remain

It is the Hour of the Wolf
(Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Visions of your lifetime
Pass before your eyes
Unicorns and Dragons
Shake the earth and skies
You are left alone
To face the phantom in the wood
Surrounded by the evil
And abandoned by the good

Now
What is this madness
That invades the very being of your soul
Shock
Beads of sweat run down your face
You feel your blood is turning cold
No, what you're seeing can't be true
Still there is nothing you can do

When it's the Hour of the Wolf
(Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

(Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

Look
You are encircled by a pentagram
Of orange leaping flames
Shapes
Are joining closer
And their chanting tongues
Scream out a thousand names
A serpent coils around your head
There is no hope among the dead
It is the Hour of the Wolf
(Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Ahhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

John Dizek, Billy Joel
