lyrics

Once, your heart was tame, fully civilized
Growing flowers of honour with pride
Instincts on a leash were bound
The self-contained blaze in your eye
Dimmed like a flame domesticated not to burn

Now heed the call of the wild
The howls fierce and free as twilight descends
Sudden return to the wild
The strength of bare fangs prevails
Enter the realm of the wild
The red blood reigns, red blood reigns in the winter’s pale

Under the midnight sun
The hunt’s begun!
The hound’s asleep and the game is on.

Resurgence from the depths
Teachings of the wilderness
Of merciless mountains and frozen lakes
A surge of life in your veins,
The passion of a tidal wave
Even when beaten, never be a broken slave

“Singing songs of when the world was young
Being one with the storms
This is the place where you belong”

Now heed the call of the wild
The howls fierce and free as twilight descends
Sudden return to the wild
The strength of bare fangs prevails
Enter the realm of the wild
The red blood reigns, red blood reigns in the winter’s pale

Under the midnight sun
The hunt’s begun!
The wolf’s awake and the game is on.

Normally I'm quite averted to the whole symphonic power metal thing, but I dig this for a couple reasons; it's Morrowind, it riffs, and I dig the vocals. grungiernine0

Black Dahlia Poem
by The Lust

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Call of the Wild”

Based on the story of Elizabeth Short, The Lust created a album which contains lots of heavy riffs, melodic guitars, great bass lines and drums. The vocals from Anna are almost haunting you (in a good way) and if you are (a little) familiar with the Elizabeth Short story, you can hear the tale that Anna is telling. The wonderful vocals from Anna and the the great musical work from Yan are always creating a wonderful (and dark) atmosphere which will "haunt" you forever, in a good way! Score: 4/5 willem82
