From the recording Alpha
This song had its inception when Carl was driving in his car and heard on the radio "In the hour of the wolf, who will survive?". Carl realized that this was the missing chorus to a song "Hammer and Wheels" he wrote when he was 19 years old.
Lyrics
I feel the poundin in my head
A driving force that thirsts for red
I feel it taking hold with its clutches
Such as the grip of death - Buenos Noches
The blood is rushing to your head
Your eyes are red straight ahead
Grand Slammer
Your heart is beating double time
The sweat is pouring down your spine
Chorus
In the Hour of the Wolf
Will we survive
In the Hour of the Wolf
Will I be alive
In the Hour of the Wolf
Will we survive
In the Hour of the Wolf
Will I be alive
