I feel the knives
Gripped in their hands
I feel the eyes
Roll in their heads
They think they smell old blood
up in the pines
But my minds as sharp
as my trusty ore
and I'm as young
as ever before
They wanna count my rings?
We'll they're free to try
They took my life
and filled up my head
the hands raised me up
then ripped me to shreds
They don't know nothin' bout
what I can do
I think the gods would love
what I can do
They are the wolves
but I am a man
They have their fangs
but I have my hands
So i will break their jaws tonight
The village is bright
but I've had my fill
and I've earned the right
to rule or be killed
not to sleep peacefully
under the snow
Into my new, old life
I go

From the hive I go
to slash the throats
of all of those
who guard the road
Oh those yellow eyes
I'll watch the life
and light drain from them
as you die
Through the clouded snow
I drag my boots
back to the only
love I've known
Though my body's cold
my soul is warm
with lust and wood
and fur and blood
My roots are pulled back in the ground
I'm whole again
I'm back to where I
Where I've always been
No, there's no one here
Without the praise
I'll shrivel up
and disappear
Move you useless legs
I'll cut you off
before I keep you
in my way
The gods'll make me whole again
please take me back
I wanna go back
to where I've been

I'm starting to think I have
made my first mistake
I feel my bones aching
but I can't stay awake
What's left here to face in this
dead circle of trees?
I offer myself but it
gives nothing to me
Oh this can't be real
With my axe I'll break it all
Everything I came here for
Your face reminds me of a friend
I had but I was younger then
And that's over now
Oh that's over now
Oh that's over now
So I'll take you down
So I'll take you down
So I'll take you down

Under The Snow

The ice is coming home
crawling in my door
I'm freezing into stone
and It's all I hoped for
I'm going home
Under the snow
If it's time to say goodbye
then goodbye
My legacy is built
I can feel the shift
These fragments on the ground
are the blocks they'll build with
I am not a perfect man
but all their cubs
will know my name
and all my crimes
will wash away
I am not afraid
to die
