lyrics

I am the forest lord, unquestioned master of the hunt.
I am a sylvan god, the 'nighted woodland is my haunt.
I hear them calling out to me.
The wolves they hear my cry and they shall heed!

Howl of the night pack!

I am a legend in the whispers of the village after dark.
I stalk the borderlands, my mournful cry strikes terror in their hearts.
Heed my call when moonlight grips the land.
Hear me twice and know your days are at hand!

Howl of the night pack!

I am a memory of a long forgotten age.
A scion of the dawn of time, I remember elder days.
When animal, in harmony, we ruled across the land.
And taught to him, the budding child,
Oh, we trained the man.

Born naked and helpless to that primeval forest floor,
We sheltered them in kindness, taught to them druidic lore.
But with this borrowed knowledge, their heads filled with foolish pride.
They spat upon their teachers, they turned upon all nature's kind.

I speak of betrayal
A violation to the core
And they can never be forgiven
There shall be vengeance, there shall be war!

Mankind is a parasite, a virus, a disease,
A plague upon the living world.
They thwart the natural order with their heretic machines,
Desecrating all they come to touch.
We shall destroy them, by fang, hoof, claw and root.
Return the earth to better days.
Sound the battle cry the very earth will follow suite.
Leave them rotting beneath the forest floor!

I am primordial, I walked the earth before the dawn of man.
I am the wolfen god and soon shall come the day of my revenge.
For every slaughtered pup and fallen tree,
Hearken, Man, your judgment comes for thee!

Howl of the night pack!

Hard to define, The Thorn and Tear is a blend of black, folk, and symphonic metal, although many other influences shine through. It lyrically embraces fantasy related elements, a guise through which human nature and the surrounding world is explored. The majority of the songs tell stories, with common themes being adventure, bravery, death and spirituality. ... more
