3. Eerily Howling Winds
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Eerily howling winds
Hear the wolves cry
Cries of hunger
Cries of hate

The ruler in the forest
Below the red moon
Hiding in shadows
Under the golden forest crown

Eerily howling winds

In the deep darkwoods of norway
They're nowhere to be found
The ancient wolfspirit gathered and howled
We are the true pagans, we shall always be
From our day forward, to eternity

Forward in the forest
The old man laughed and grinned
Bringing forth agony
The red full moon
This is my ode to thee
Ancient ruler of my land

Eerily howling winds
Hear the wolves cry
Cries of hunger
Cries of hate
In the old norwegian moon
I will see their red eyes
And I shall greet them
And listen to their beauty songs

Eerily howling winds


9. Sweet Leaf
(Originally performed by Black Sabbath)
+++++++++++++
Alright now!
Won't you listen?

When I first met you didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind

I love you. Oh you know it

My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf - though you can't hear

Come on now - try it out

Straight people don't know what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
