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