Walk too deep where the footpaths end Where the pine trees lean and the shadows bend You’ll feel them first before you see Two points of light where no light should be Not human, not demon, not asking why Just watching you pass with a forest sky Trapped behind bone, trapped behind night Trapped in the stare of a yellow light Hold your breath Don’t look away They see the truth That you can’t say Forest eyes, yellow like the first sun Cutting through the fog when the hunt’s begun Forest eyes, green like the summer deep Where the oldest secrets go to sleep Forest eyes, blue like the winter lakes Frozen over but a heartbeat breaks Underneath the ice, underneath the pine Forest eyes — they know you’re mine They don’t blink when the thunder cracks They don’t run from the hunter’s tracks They’ve seen the world end ten times over In every snowfall, in every clover Pack moves silent through the wet and wild Mother’s gold, and the father’s green, and the cub’s blue mild Changing with the season, changing with the moon But the stare stays steady from night until noon If you meet them in the dark Don’t reach for your gun, don’t reach for your heart Just stand still and let them read Every lie you’ve told, every broken deed 'Cause they ain’t judging, they ain’t holy men They’re just the forest wearing wolf again And when they turn and fade to black You’ll carry those eyes on your back Forest eyes, yellow like the first sun Cutting through the fog when the hunt’s begun Forest eyes, green like the summer deep Where the oldest secrets go to sleep Forest eyes, blue like the winter lakes Frozen over but a heartbeat breaks Underneath the ice, underneath the pine Forest eyes — they know you’re mine Yellow... green... blue... Forest eyes watching you... Forest eyes... know the truth...
