He was raised by wolves, in a distant land. 
                 G                                     Dm - pausa 
The fire inside begot the animal within. 
                               Dm 
Well, he grew up mean, 
                                Am 
and he grew so strong. 
                 G                                              Dm 
His only weakness was that he did not belong 

    Am           G                       Dm 
And only the moon calms his soul, 
     Am          G                       Dm - pausa 
while all of his shadows watch below. 

                              Dm                        Am 
Well there came a day when he felt unrest, 
                  G                                               Dm 
and so he left alone the pack that he loved best. 
                                                          Am 
He went on through the world trying to find where he'd belong 
                        G                                                        Dm 
but for his dismay could find no rest, no peace, no more. 

     Am           G                       Dm 
And only the moon calms his soul, 
     Am           G                       Dm 
while all of his shadows laugh below. 

Dm - Am - G - Dm 

Dm                                    Am                                           G                                                     Dm 
He said to himself: "oh what have I become? I'll spend the rest of my days wandering 'till I'm gone" 

     Am           G                       Dm 
And only the moon calms his soul, 
     Am           G                       Dm 
while all of his shadows dance below.
