lyrics

Go north, then west, then north again
And when you get here you'll know
The saddest songs are the sweetest sounds
Sung beneath the falling snow

May the bitter winds bear you along
Like white horses born in the foam
Until you hear the howling
Of wolves calling you home

Go north, then west, then north again
Til the roses turn icy blue
And the frost will coat a traveller's cloak
In the place of southern dew

But if you know the land and the land knows you
Don't let fear creep into your bones
And let your heart sing with the howling
Of wolves calling you home

Blood on the snow
Deep in the forest beneath calls of
Circling crows
Battle to tear the last shreds of the
Meat from the bones
Of gods who strayed too far from where they belong
Summer has flown
We built a fire in the snow
Just follow the smoke til you're home

Go north, then west, then north again
Til the sun hangs pale in the sky
And the moon rides low on a midwinter's eve
And fills the wanderer's eye

And though life here is cruel and hard sometimes
You won't ever feel alone
So let your heart sing with the howling
Of wolves calling you home...
