Волки, БИ-2 / Wolves, BI-2 - my version

My version of "Wolves." I am quite pleased with my efforts, except for the chorus. I is not as expressive as I would like (some meaning got lost) because it is difficult to make complete sentences out of 1-2 words in English, so I had to fit 1 sentence into 3 stanzas to substitute for 3 Russian sentences....

I will check with Michael  about stanza #5, it seems to me it HAS to have "there is" in that sentence, but it won't fit in m melody-wise....



1. The wolves are leaving for the skies,
2. The cold light's shining in their eyes, 
3. And to believe in fortune is
4. No longer wise.
5. And every day a different test
6. They don't know pain, they don't know rest.
7. The other pack is ready for
8. The brazen guests...

Chorus:
9. The souls cling to the day
10. To get away
11. At any cost.
12. We can escape, but we can't win
13. I feel with my skin -
14. It is all lost.

15. They can't see dreams, can't recall words,
16. They have become their own lords,
17. And in the end they will fall on
18. Their own swords.
19. The shame and glory are in their blood,
20. The death and love lay in the mud,
21. But one cannot completely tame
22. A wild heart...

Chorus (twice)

The wolves are leaving....
The wolves are leaving...
The wolves are leaving... 


P.S. I just found out that there are no minus-versions of this song available online. So, I am really sad.
