The Wolf Lyrics
Fever Ray
Lyrics
Eyes black, big paws and
It's poison and
It's blood
And big fire, big burn
Into the ashes
And no return
Woo
Woo
Woo
Woo
We took you right
From your mother's home
Our temple, your tomb
Can be your pick
Not pawned
The poison is blood
Woo
Woo
Woo
Woo
We've been calling
Black paw who's soaring
We go out in the morning
Down the trail
To somewhere
You are the sound that I hear
You are the sound that I hear
We are not standing
We are falling
Woo
Woo
Woo
Woo
