The Hounding

Your lingering presence so cold
The darkness reminds itself again
And I will shoot my arrows into the night

Some wolves will never stay to rest
They will run with the tainted winds
And I will wish for the fire to return

The ashes took it all away
And nothing can grow here anymore
Let me become the rust
And let me rest here in your arms for a while

I can see it in your eyes now
The fear is written all over your face
I can see right through you now

When the winter's gone away
All we left behind is a memory
And when the rivers run to oceans
The only roads that seem to carry
Are the ones we left behind

Marked with the blood from the golden vein
They will never stop to catch their breath
Run with the wolves into the night
I can see their figures in the mist

When you came walking through the fire
I knew that you were here to stay
I can see every shade in the flame
