[Intro] (Ice chimes: Tink-tonk... ice groaning... deep throat drone: Hoooo-uuuum) My name is Arva. The lanterns freeze. Calling a shadow in the arctic breeze. [Verse 1] (Uneven Ice-Tapping Cadence: 3+3+2) Tink on the icicle, tonk on the snow, Following the small blood prints below. Little white wolf, don't you close your eyes, Underneath the merciless frozen skies. My throat drone vibrates through the icy shelf, I won't leave you dying out here by yourself. [Pre-Chorus] (Ice Cracking Acceleration) Ice gets thin! (crack) Boots start to slide! Nowhere for a freezing heart to hide! [Chorus 1] (Primal Emotional Hook) TINK-TONK-HOLD! Wake the northern green! Fiercest little brother that the ice has seen! Throat chant roaring through the frozen lake, I’m gonna keep this fragile pulse awake! (Hu-hu-hu! Hold on, little one! TINK-TONK-HOLD!) [Verse 2] I wrap my fur coat around your shivering chest, Giving my own warmth for your little rest. My breath turns to crystals, my fingers go numb, Listening for the pack of the wolves to come. Green light descends like an emerald sea, Breathing through the permafrost into me. [Chorus 2] (Primal Emotional Hook) TINK-TONK-HOLD! Wake the northern green! Fiercest little brother that the ice has seen! Throat chant roaring through the frozen lake, I’m gonna keep this fragile pulse awake! [Bridge] (Heart-Stopping Drop: Wind howls, a fragile wolf whine, then explosive throat roar) Eyes closing . . . so cold . . . A warm tongue touches my face . . . THE PACK HAS ARRIVED! (HUUUUUU!) [Chorus 3] (Triumphant Spiritual Rebirth) TINK-TONK-LIVE! Rise from the snow! Where the burning spirits of the hunters go! Wolf paws running on the emerald lake, We survived the night for tomorrow's sake! [Outro] Tink. Tonk. The wolf pup howls into dawn. We’re going home, little one.
