[Verse 1]

Upon 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

[Chorus]

Hackles raised to the heavens

In the still of the dawn

Tooth and blade in protection

Of blood yet to be drawn

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Hackles raised to the heavens

In the still of the dawn

Tooth and blade in protection

Of blood yet to be drawn
