Hunters' Lament (Version 2)

Verse 1

Blood on the ice beneath my feet

Polar night and I won't forget

Your hand in mine through frost and pain

I'd walk these mountains till we break again

Steel against the endless white

Hunters' prayer where shadows take flight

The pack is coming, don't you see?

Hold my breath and let it be

Pre-Chorus

In this silence there's a fire burning

A darkness born of what I'm yearning

Feel the drumbeat in your veins

We'll find our way back through the winter rain

Chorus

Rise up, hunt us, till we break

Through the frost and into daylight

Lose ourselves within the fight

Where every shadow turns to light

Rise up, hunt us, till we fall

With each step forward, take it all

Rise up, hunt us, through this night

In your eyes, my guiding light

Verse 2

Sledgehammer against the wall

Echoes shaking off where I would stall

Your voice is wildfire in the cold

Every breath a battle that we hold

Snowflakes falling like our names

Forever written in the same

The storm inside us starts to subside

Where the darkness breaks, we'll find our pride

Pre-Chorus

In this silence there's a fire burning

A darkness born of what I'm yearning

Feel the drumbeat in your veins

We'll find our way back through the winter rain

Chorus

Rise up, hunt us, till we break

Through the frost and into daylight

Lose ourselves within the fight

Where every shadow turns to light

Rise up, hunt us, till we fall

With each step forward, take it all

Rise up, hunt us, through this night

In your eyes, my guiding light

Bridge

Let go of everything you hold

Just the beat and the winter's gold

Run with me into the dark

Where love is stronger than the spark

Chorus

Rise up, hunt us, till we break

Through the frost and into daylight

Lose ourselves within the fight

Where every shadow turns to light

Rise up, hunt us, till we fall

With each step forward, take it all

Rise up, hunt us, through this night

In your eyes, my guiding light
