Voices the forest talks

Verse 1

Frost

Heavy on the hemlock

Bending branches till they snap

Frozen sap

Ancient wood remembers every war

Root

Deep

Cold

Black soil holds the secrets of the dead

Iron

Sharpened on a gray stone

Wolves are howling at the red sun

Chorus

Listen to the timber talk

Listen to the timber talk

Voices in the bark and bone

Listen to the timber talk

Old gods walking in the grove

Walking in the grove

Post-Chorus

Hey

Ho

Gather at the roots

Hey

Ho

Blood upon the boots

Verse 2

Wind

Ripping through the needles

Singing songs of long ships

Leather grips

Heaves the earth beneath our heavy feet

Tall

Green

Silent

Watching every man who ever bled

Skulls

Buried in the hollow

Winter swallows everything we said

Chorus

Listen to the timber talk

Listen to the timber talk

Voices in the bark and bone

Listen to the timber talk

Old gods walking in the grove

Walking in the grove

Post-Chorus

Hey

Ho

Gather at the roots

Hey

Ho

Blood upon the boots

Bridge

Cut the oak

Burn the oak

Leave the oak

I saw the spirits

I saw the shadows

I saw the end

No one escapes the forest

No one escapes the shade

No one escapes the blade

Chorus

Listen to the timber talk

Listen to the timber talk

Voices in the bark and bone

Listen to the timber talk

Old gods walking in the grove

Walking in the grove

Outro

Shhh

The cedar knows

Shhh

The pine grows

Shhh

The story flows

Into the dirt

Down to the dark

Lost in the bark
