[Intro]
Out past the city lights
Where the cold wind bites
No crown, no gold, no rules
Tonight I run with the wolves

[Verse]
I left the gates behind me
With ashes in my hair
The road was black and hungry
But at least the road was fair
No servants, no pretenders
No velvet in the rain
Just headlights on the highway
And a heart that still felt pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I heard them in the distance
Like a choir without a home
Every soul the world had wounded
Howling through the stone

[Chorus]
I run with the wolves
Under midnight skies
I run with the wolves
Where the broken learn to rise
No throne, no chains, no golden rules
No polished lies for royal fools
When the old world burns and the cold wind pulls
I run with the wolves

[Verse]
They had scars instead of medals
They had truth instead of fame
They didn’t bow to glory
They didn’t care about my name
One said, boy, you look like thunder
But your eyes are full of rain
You can hide behind a crown forever
Or you can learn to live again

[Pre-Chorus]
So I threw my past to the river
Watched it sink like stone
And the night became a teacher
On the road away from home

[Chorus]
I run with the wolves
Under midnight skies
I run with the wolves
Where the broken learn to rise
No throne, no chains, no golden rules
No polished lies for royal fools
When the old world burns and the cold wind pulls
I run with the wolves

[Instrumental]
Guitars race like engines
Drums kick dust from the ground
The solo screams through the valley
Like a lost soul being found

[Bridge]
Maybe kings need the hunger
Maybe pride needs the fall
Maybe hearts made of iron
Need the wildest road of all
I was lost in the palace
I was blind in the light
Now I see every star above me
Like a fire in the night

[Breakdown]
No crown
No throne
No fear
No home
One road
One truth
One heart
Cut loose

[Build-up]
Raise the howl, raise the flame
I am more than my broken name
From the ashes, from the bruise
I found my blood when I ran with the wolves

[Chorus]
I run with the wolves
Under midnight skies
I run with the wolves
Where the broken learn to rise
No throne, no chains, no golden rules
No polished lies for royal fools
When the old world burns and the cold wind pulls
I run with the wolves

[Chorus]
I run with the wolves
And I’m not afraid
I run with the wolves
Through the debts I paid
No crown can make me, no loss can rule
No shame can turn my fire cool
When the dawn breaks hard and the mountain pulls
I run with the wolves

[Outro]
Out past the city lights
I found my name in the night
No crown, no gold, no rules
I learned to run with the wolves
