The Old Wolves

Follow me back, darling

I'll show you a story that I carved out of time

Trace your paws o'er the ice

Here, a song was once howled

Can you still feel it, our old, favorite rhyme?

Follow me back, darling

Here's where we once stood, and watched

As our people marched on

Across the frozen seas

Can you still see it, where sky and sea touch?

Follow me back, darling

Here's where we cried and we danced

In a celebration

Of the toughness of hope

Can you still hear it, our resilient chant?

Follow me back, darling

Here's where I started to fall

I foolishly stumbled

In the absence of stars

Can you still say them, the words that gave hope?

Follow me back, Edme

Here is where I left your bones

I wanted to mourn you

But the wind stole your song

Can you still love me, through the eons passed?

Follow me back, Stormfast

Back to the land of young wolves

Drape us both in the blue

Of the ancients' marching

On toward the morning song

Will you step with me, to the end of time?
