We sound the nightfall howling<BR>'neath the midnight sun<BR>Where shadows fleet and prowling<BR>Make good the days long run<BR>Though night serves us unswerving<BR>We lift our ancient song<BR>Though the silence is un-nerving<BR>Have I ever led you wrong<BR><BR>We range along our borders<BR>Hunting as we go<BR>Each obeying his own orders<BR>As we mark the fallen snow<BR>It is I who holds attention<BR>And I who wastes my breath<BR>But for those who show dissention<BR>The penalty is death<BR><BR>My glory's uncontested<BR>While I run at the front<BR>We've slept well and we're rested<BR>It's time to start the hunt<BR>It's my age, my size and bearing<BR>That brings me to the lead<BR>See how the pack is faring<BR>We are the strongest of the breed
