Where The Wolves Still Sleep

(instrumental) Stone on stone Snow in our hair Smoke from the hearths Clings to the air Grandfather’s coat Still smells of maple He taught us to vanish To strike and be able. We carved our homes Where the high winds turn Shared our hearths Watched the fires burn Counted the peaks Like beads in a braid Feyr’s Fangs keep us in the jaws of sleep. (Chorus) The mountains echo out Where the wolves still sleep Where white shadows run Through the cold so deep Where the many-tailed beasts Stand guard on what we keep The mountains echo out Where the wolves still sleep (instrumental) First blooded hunt I could barely stand Your hand on my shoulder Your laugh in the land You loosed the reins On that broad-backed hound We flew through the trees Never touching the ground We learned to wait To listen To hide To leave no print On the mountainside (instrumental) (Chorus) The mountains echo out Where the wolves still sleep Where white shadows run Through the cold so deep Where the many-tailed beasts Stand guard on what we keep The mountains echo out Where the wolves still sleep (instrumental) (Bridge) Drums still rumble deep The notes still climb Low hum of voices Old songs of warning Low in the throat Names of our fathers Stitched in stone We circle the fires Back to the start The howl in the dark Is the beat of our heart (Chorus) The mountains echo out Where the wolves still sleep Where white shadows run Through the cold so deep Where the many-tailed beasts Stand guard on what we keep The mountains echo out Where the wolves still sleep (instrumental) Songs hold long, After I am gone. When I am ash Scatter me high Let my dust ride On a tail through the sky So I will rest Where the far peaks keep Under Feyr’s Fangs Where the wolves still sleep
