Am G Em Am When I was a child sat upon my mother's knee Am Dm C G Am By firelight she spoke of rights, and ancient history Am C G Am And one phrase she repeated though I knew not what it meant Am Em Am Be safe, da'len, young lethallan Am G Dm F Am May the dread wolf never catch your scent Am G Em Am And as I grew I thought I knew the path my life would take Am Dm C G Am But when the dream broke open, only I was left awake Am C G Am And then you took my hand and taught me how to turn the key Am Em Am I held it, how was I to know Am G Dm F Am I'd let the wolf catch wind of me?
Am G Em Am I took up arms I lead the charge, some called me prophet, blessed Am Dm C G Am And by my side you guided, wise and seemingly guileless Am C G Am But the truth's not always obvious, not written on the skin Am Em Am Sometimes to let the truth come out Am G Dm F Am You have to let the dread come in Am G Em Am You called me "ma vhenan" and showed me worlds I'd never known Am Dm C G Am Lands of mists and memories, of faded sky and stone Am C G Am Then with words so soft and sad, you left me in that glen Am Em Am And though you brought me low I know Am G Dm F Am I'd let the dread wolf in again Am G Em Am My love has vanished through the veil so now I'm stark and bare Am Dm C G Am At night I go to sleep and dream and hope he'll meet me there Am C G Am He wandered from the waking world I know not where he went Am Em Am But I'd be with my dread wolf now Am G Dm F Am If I could only catch his scent
