When the winds and wolves howl
The night seems to be so steady
Campfire burning, and I know I'm just not ready
North and south breeze blowing in the wind
Watching these embers light up again
And I'm sitting right here on this old fallen log
Watching and waiting for night to fall
When the wolves close in it'll take no time at all
No I can't give up I must stand tall
Walking through thick brush got burs on my jeans
Moonlight is shining it gleams through the trees
I hear them in the distance got a knife by my side
They're prowling in the darkness I got nowhere to hide
So I'm sitting right here on this old fallen log
Watching and waiting for night to fall
When the wolves close in it'll take no time at all
No I can't give up I must stand tall
They're making their way and I'm praying for life
And I'm hoping to make it to my kids and wife
But I must stand my ground to stay and fight
And the fire's on its last dying light
So I'm sitting right here on this old fallen log
Watching and waiting for night to fall
When the wolves close in it'll take no time at all
No I can't give up I must stand tall
Now I'm lying right here by this old fallen log
Thinking about how everything went wrong
The wolves came in that's the end of it all
Memories replaying, and I start to recall
All the good times that I spent with you
I'm not coming home, and you don't have a clue
Where I have gone on this dark stormy night
Just know that I had to stay and fight
