Western Snow Lyrics

Autumn wind came sweeping

Fire ahead

Birds once dead now wake, turning our

Rivers red

Lovers' spit is drying

Mountain peaks

Western snow will haunt you

Martyred hearts will reap

The dead

The fear

The blood

Run clear

Western snow will haunt you

Martyred hearts will heal

So we'll fight down to the river

Casting stones, forgiving none

Tearing veins up from the earth

Skin burning in the sun

And we'll cut our wrists and bleed

Every last hope into the ground

Then salt it with our quiet tears

Until you come around again

On liar's peak we'll suffer and we'll

Cross our hands

Marking idle tendrils making

Grave demands

Wind caresses sleeping bodies

Troubled land

Whipping never grasping

Lover's hearts to sand

The dead don't

Fear the night

As blood

Runs clear

Western snow still haunts you

No more hearts to heal

So we'll fight down to the river

Casting stones, forgiving none

Tearing veins up from the earth

Skin burning in the sun

And we'll cut our wrists and bleed

Every last hope into the ground

Then salt it with our quiet tears

Until you come around again
