[Intro] No fire. No moon. Only snow remembering where we stood. Walk slowly. The ground is listening. [Verse 1] Pine beneath a white sky. Breath beneath the wool. Footsteps filling one by one with silence. Far beyond the frozen water, something wooden answers wind. Not a voice. Not yet. [Refrain] North without stars. Carry me quietly. North without stars. Leave no light for me. If the road disappears, follow the river under the ice. North without stars. I will know the way. [Interlude] Ah~ Oh~ Ah~~ The trees lean closer. Snow leaves the branches. Nothing moves. Everything moves. [Verse 2] Smoke once lived between these stones. Hands once warmed against this wall. Names were carved into the timber. Winter softened them all. I put my palm against the doorway. Cold comes through the grain. Some things leave. Some things remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. [Refrain] North without stars. Carry me quietly. North without stars. Leave no light for me. If the road disappears, follow the river under the ice. North without stars. I will know the way. [Final Passage] Morning comes without colour. Snow becomes the sky. I turn once toward the forest. Nothing there. Still— I say goodbye. [Final Refrain] North without stars. Carry me quietly. North without stars. No need to answer me. If my footprints disappear, let the white take what it needs. North without stars. Keep what remains. [Outro] One beat. ... Wait. ... One beat. ... Gone.
