[Verse] Frost on the marsh One heron stands Grey as the reeds Still as the stone Water holds breath Ice holds the light Nothing moves Everything listens [Chorus] One bird, two hungers One strikes, one waits Water says nothing Water says wait I wait [Rise] Cold at the ankle Stillness in the spine Cold at the ankle Stillness in the spine Wait [Hook] I'm the strike I'm the spear I'm the ravenous dark I'm the stillness I'm the reed I'm the ice that lets go [Verse] I've hunted all my life Fast, bright, loud I was the beak I was the blade Winter taught me Watch, don't take Wait, and be taken By the quiet instead [Chorus] One bird, two hungers One strikes, one waits Water says nothing Water says wait I wait [Rise] Cold at the ankle Stillness in the spine Cold at the ankle Stillness in the spine Wait [Hook] I'm the strike I'm the spear I'm the ravenous dark I'm the stillness I'm the reed I'm the ice that lets go [Bridge] Light comes down the reeds Ice lets go of the shallows Wings take what water gives Nothing is kept [Chorus] One bird, two hungers One strikes, one waits Water says nothing Water says wait I wait [Rise] Cold at the ankle Stillness in the spine Cold at the ankle Stillness in the spine Wait [Hook] I'm the strike I'm the spear I'm the ravenous dark I'm the strike I'm ravenous dark I'm the spear I'm ravenous dark I'm the ice that lets go That lets go That lets go
