Awaken the wolves For my dreams have grown too quiet once again Give me howling of footsteps As time ambles drunk over tundra-glazed earth Somewhere in the snow Are the frozen tears and the teeth that battle broke Twelve winters ago When aging was living and murder was birth
Taste the cells dividing All to come and all that's been See the glaciers fighting Melting over, pushing underneath your skin
Surrender your warmth To find where ice crystals end and body starts We walk the line Between breath and wind and death and gravity Awaken the martyr inside And the ground that's solid cold and petrified Before I open my eyes Can you thaw this away and give my past to me?
Awaken the wolves When the January moon needs lullabies When the sun's bright passion cannot reach the skies 'Cause we're all alone here on the plains of frost And when we wake ourselves, shall winter's memory be lost?
