Call of the Wild Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In this last and final hour, you can't hide
There's nowhere now that you can run
All eyes are on you, like a lost eternal light
Princes and kings and demons with wings summon your fears from Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the call of the wild
Calling you

[Verse 2]
In this last macabre hour, witches cry
And turn to dust before the moon
Many spirits are lost forever, but one survives
To call the tune of Lucifer

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the call of the wild
Calling you

[Chorus 1]
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams, uh huh
Hero, don't believe in fate, it ain't what it seems, oh

[Bridge]
All you gotta do now is stay free, oh
You're the one they turn to when Hell screams, oh-oh
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Fear of the Devil has no place among the brave
Faced with pain, there's a battle to be won
All eyes are on you, like a lost eternal light
Princes and kings, demons with wings summon your fears from Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the call of the wild
Calling you

[Chorus 2]
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams, uh huh
Hero, don't believe in fate, it ain't what it seems, oh
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams, uh huh
Hero, don't believe in fate, it ain't what it seems, no

[Outro]
Hero, you got the fear of the Devil
Hero, oh, burning your soul

Hero, it's the call of the wild
Hero, oh, tearing your soul
