White Wolves in the Snow (version 2)

Intro

White wolves (Hu-ha!)

White wolves (Hu-ha!)

Snow in my teeth, sky in my chest

Verse 1

I lean on the wind, the wind leans back

Frost on my breath, runes down my back

I drink from the dark where the old roots drink

Cold in my throat, I don't stop, don't blink

Bone drum, bone drum, under the ground

Nine nights hung and I hear the sound

Pre-Chorus

The night holds its breath

The night holds its breath

Count it down to nine

Chorus

White wolves in the snow

(Hu-ha!)

White wolves in the snow

(Hu-ha!)

Howl it from the hill, let the old gods know

White wolves in the snow

Verse 2

Cat's step, fish breath, a mountain's root

They wove me a chain, it won't hold my foot

My tongue cracks like ice on the river

Every word I swallow makes me bigger

I hold the sky till the sky wears thin

Stars on my tongue and the cold drinks in

Pre-Chorus

The night holds its breath

The night holds its breath

Count it down to nine

Chorus

White wolves in the snow

(Hu-ha!)

White wolves in the snow

(Hu-ha!)

Howl it from the hill, let the old gods know

White wolves in the snow

Bridge – chant

Mouth of the well, eye in the deep

Drink, I drink, nothing to keep

Deep, deep, deeper I lean

Older than the oak, older than the green

Final Chorus

White wolves in the snow

(Hu-ha!)

White wolves in the snow

(Hu-ha!)

Howl it from the hill, let the old gods know

White wolves in the snow

Outro

White wolves in the snow

The night breathes out (Hu-ha!)
