She Walks With the Wolves

Verse 1

Down through the pines where the frost never thaws

I carried a lantern and a fistful of salt

The old maps said nothing

The old maps told lies

Something was calling me north

Pre-Chorus

Bark on my knuckles

Blood on my sleeve

I was never afraid of the dark

I was afraid of believing

Chorus

She walks with the wolves

She speaks with the wolves

And the forest kneels down when she calls

I came as a stranger

I leave as a daughter

Of the wolf witch of Connecticut

Post-Chorus

Howl oh howl oh

Howl with me now

Howl oh howl oh

The wild remembers

Verse 2

Her hands were all scars and her hair was all braid

She read every secret I thought I had saved

She said child you were never lost

You were only asleep

Now wake and go sharpen your teeth

Pre-Chorus

The moon was a coin

The creek was a hymn

Every root in that ground knew my name

And the stones started humming

Chorus

She walks with the wolves

She speaks with the wolves

And the forest kneels down when she calls

I came as a stranger

I leave as a daughter

Of the wolf witch of Connecticut

Post-Chorus

Howl oh howl oh

Howl with me now

Howl oh howl oh

The wild remembers

Bridge

Rise rise rise

From the ash and the rain

Rise rise rise

You are stronger than the pain

Rise rise rise

Let the old world fall away

(She's calling)

(She's calling)

(She's calling me home)

Chorus

She walks with the wolves

She speaks with the wolves

And the forest kneels down when she calls

I came as a stranger

I leave as a daughter

Of the wolf witch of Connecticut

Post-Chorus

Howl oh howl oh

Howl with me now

Howl oh howl oh

The wild remembers
