🐺 "Under the Wolf's Shadow" is a dark folk ballad that plunges into the heart of ancient werewolf folklore, blending primal tribal percussion with eerie strings and haunting chants. The song recounts the terrifying transformation of a man into a werewolf—a curse he cannot escape, brought on by a pact with dark forces. Set against the backdrop of a medieval village haunted by the curse of lycanthropy, the song captures the brutal and uncontrollable nature of this transformation.
Inspired by European werewolf myths from French and Germanic folklore, "Under the Wolf's Shadow" paints a raw and vivid picture of a man turning into a beast under the full moon’s light. His body twists into a monstrous hybrid, driven by an insatiable hunger for blood.

🎶 Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Under the moon’s unforgiving light,
A man falls to the curse’s bite.
Flesh that tears, bone that breaks,
The beast within, its hunger wakes.
(Chorus)
Under the wolf’s shadow, blood will spill,
The night is long, the hunt is still.
No prayer can break, no chains can bind,
The curse that grips both flesh and mind.
(Verse 2)
Claws of silver, eyes of flame,
A man now lost, no name, no shame.
The howls they hear, the fear they keep,
The beast that roams while others sleep.
(Bridge)
Beneath the oak, in secret pacts,
The Devil laughs, no turning back.
The wolfskin cursed, it binds the soul,
The man now beast, with no control.
(Chorus)
Under the wolf’s shadow, blood will spill,
The night is long, the hunt is still.
No hope remains when the moon is high,
For under its gaze, all men will die.
(Verse 3)
The village burns, the bodies torn,
In wolfish claws, the world is born.
The healer’s hand, the silver blade,
But no escape from what they made.
(Outro):
🌕 The Curse of the Werewolf:

"Under the Wolf's Shadow" delves into this darker, more brutal version of the legend, where the transformation is agonizing, violent, and irreversible. The song brings to life the primal horror of a village terrorized by a creature they cannot defeat.
