The black hooves break the frozen crust, The bristled flank throws frozen dust. The mountain steepens toward the sky, Frost burns inside the boar's black eye. The shouting voice drives up the steep, The beast sinks in the snowy deep. The white drifts swallow up the knees, White breath hangs white between the trees. [Pre-Chorus, The snow is thick upon the peak. The broken branches crack and speak. The broken branches crack and speak! [Chorus, The Boar in Snow! The steam is pouring from the snout! The Boar in Snow! The running beast is tiring out! The black tusks plow the frozen white! The hunter drives him up the height! The woven net comes down around! The bristled body hits the ground! [Verse 2, The ropes bind up the bleeding jaw, The snow conceals the broken claw. But down below the mountain pine, The blood is mixing with the wine. The poisoned arrow leaves the string, The centaurs hear the deadly ring. The venom burns the teacher's chest, The immortal friend can find no rest. [Pre-Chorus The snow is thick upon the peak. The broken branches crack and speak. The broken branches crack and speak! [Chorus, The Boar in Snow! The steam is pouring from the snout! The Boar in Snow! The running beast is tiring out! The black tusks plow the frozen white! The hunter drives him up the height! The woven net comes down around! The bristled body hits the ground! [Bridge, The living weight across the back. The blood is freezing in the track. The quiet wind erases tracks. A wounded teacher stays in mind. [Final Chorus, The Boar in Snow! The steam is pouring from the snout! The Boar in Snow! The running beast is tiring out! The black tusks plow the frozen white! The hunter drives him up the height! The woven net comes down around! The bristled body hits the ground! The bristled body hits the ground! [Outro, The rope pulls tight around the beast... One poisoned arrow stays below. Fourth labor falls. [End]
