about

This song tells the real history about the disastrous culling of wolves in the Yellowstone natural reserve.

lyrics

When night falls
Beasts hide in their holes
When night falls
The wolf king howls

When moon shines
The animals run or die
When moon shines
The wolf king arises

When night arrives
We sharpen our knives
When night arrives
We go for their lives

When dawn comes
The killing is all done
When dawn comes
The wolf king is gone

We aren’t aware,
We do great harm
Is too late,
We fall like a swarm

The bodies of the wolves,
Piled into holes
The animals sigh,
Another kingdom comes

Now is full of deer
Eroding the land without fear
The river changes its form
And Yellowstone is gone

When night falls
Beasts come out of their holes
When night falls
You only hear moans

When moon shines
Deer run and cry
When moon shines
Noses and horns arise

Bring back the king
Said a fool
Release a wolf
And let him rule

Only the nature
Has the power to heal
To fix the damage
We did with our steel

The problem is solved
The wolf is back at home
The king is back at home
