lyrics

They came from the trees that night
grey shades amongst the black trees
with hunger on their lips
in snow drawing ever nearer
Hard cold had killed all their prey
they were starving in the mountains
Hunger drove them down our way
They leapt upon all who found them
So drawing my darling close
I raised and leveled my shotgun
and squeezing the trigger oh, so tight
wouldn’t fire not even to falter
They fell upon us with speed
my throat was tattered and torn
My whip sang out with greed
I lived just barely till the morning

My darling screamed once my name
as they dragged her back into the black trees
I heard her moan out in pain
then the howling was all that reached me
My Heart Took to the Earth
There was a flock of birds calling over my head
and as they flew my heart took to the sky
and as I opened my mouth to sing along
O!
