When was the last time you had that creepy feeling that something is lurking in your shadows? The Hour Of The Wolf is drawing near! Formerly a four verse poem turned into power metal with a gentle 80´s touch.

lyrics

Lyrics:
The velvet embrace of the bat´s wings
Comforts me, a priceless solace
Their tendons and veins like leathery strings
Enfold me, a binding promise

Hour of the wolf
When sleep is the deepest
Hour of the wolf
All demons arise
Hour of the wolf
When night is indecent
Hour of the wolf
Drains tears from the stars
Madness in disguise

It feels like surfacing out of deep waters
Taking one breath the only that matters
Seconds from drowning I release my coarse cry
Echoes far and wide, but my tongue is tied

Chorus

Five ragged holes in the veil of my courage
Aligned like buttons on a dead man´s coat

Chorus

Hour of the wolf
I am on the move
Hour of the wolf
I am not alone!

Two verses (originally 2nd and 4th) that did not make it in the song version:

They grant me some safety in times of woe
The horrid night claws harshly at the walls
And the blinds of my dome, and I realize
That in all of this endless ink I´m not alone

When darkness grows bold I hear distant sounds
Murmurs and shrieks that vibrate my bones
Shivering leaves in unsteady breeze
Carry them to places where nothing grows

Martin Schwarz Czechia

Welcome, wanderer!
Browse cheerfully the songs I write after (and sometimes during) work hours to get my mind off things.

It´s mostly metal, mostly melodic.

More music to come.
