Original lyrics
ENUpon a trail forgotten
A beast before me, passing
I glimpsed you in a life before
Just as silver, quick, and flashing
Let the ravens cackle
As a beckon or a warning
I am animal enough to find
Your heart before the morning
Hackles raised
To the heavens
In the still of the dawn
Tooth and blade
In protection
Of blood yet to be drawn
In the forest vast and open
With all my senses heightened
Softly I step forth upon the earth
Where for you the path has widened
Pursuit gives way to voyage
As the ice begins to thaw
While blue eyes still elusive
Keep the pace from toe to paw
Hackles raised
To the heavens
In the still of the dawn
Tooth and blade
In protection
Of blood yet to be drawn
