Lyrics
Running With Wolves
Words & Music by Seraya Young
VERSE 1
I run with the wolf, I play with fire, Born huntress, raised virgin
Running with wolves and playing with fire, Fascination with fantasy
CHORUS
I wanna live, I wanna feel,
I just wanna breathe, I wanna live, I want to live.
VERSE 2
The wind in my hair, the soles of my feet are soiled in my bid for freedom
In need of rest, Sucking the remnant scent of a lover
Passion and power
CHORUS
I wanna live, I wanna feel
I just wanna breathe, I wanna live, I want to live.
BRIDGE
Watch me now I am the Huntress
Strong and proud I roam the night
Pure as lightening, swift and agile
Truth is chilling in the light
Yeah the truth is chilling in the light
BREAK
CHORUS
I wanna live, I wanna feel
I just wanna breathe, I wanna live I want to live.
