[Intro part 2]
Dm C/F Gm7 A | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | (x2)
[Verse 1]
Dm C/F Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage, Gm7 A The fox lay asleep in his lair Dm C/F Fang's frantic paws told the tale of his sin. Gm7 A Far off the chase shrieked revenge.
[Verse 2]
Gm Dm Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread, Gm C The last sacred haunt of the dead. Gm Dm He learnt of the truth which only one wolf may know, Gm C The sceptre and crown of the king. Em Am Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack, A A4 A Plunging through forests and snow-storm.

[Verse 3]
Dm C/F Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky, Gm7 A Fang sped through the jungles of ice. Dm C/F Hard on his tale, One-eye drew from the pack Gm7 A An old hero conquered by none.
[Verse 4]
Gm Dm Steep, for too steep grew the pathway ahead Gm C Descent was the only escape Gm Dm A wolf never flees in the face of his foe Gm C Fang knew the price he would pay Em One-eye stood before him Am With the crown upon his head A A4 A Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow.

[Verse 5]
Dm Dm7/A Fang, son of great Fang, the Traitor we seek, Gm A The laws of the Brethren say this Dm Dm7/A That only the King sees the Crown of the Gods Gm A And he, the Usurper must die
[Verse 6]
Gm Dm Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe Gm C But Fang fought the hero in vain Gm Dm Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red Gm C Never would the crown leave again Em Am One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head A A4 A Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace.
