The Twig & the Tree

1
In the wilderness
you run 'til you scream
(The boy and the gun) x2 repeated through verse
You lay on spruce bows
and you drink from the stream
You've seen the future go
from good to obscene
Your K9 senses leave
leave a scent on the trees

2
Your stone-age instinct
knows the winter is here
(The boy and the fox) x2 repeated through verse
Cat got snowshoes
dragged away in the clear
Beaver pelt offering
to show you're sincere
In minus 40
air is perfectly clear

Shoot 'em my boy x16

3
The fall is coming
and the lichens rejoice
(The twig and the tree) x2 repeated through verse
The intensity of hunger
leaves you without a choice
You touch the berries
to your lips for the moist
The tired moon light
speaks to your inner voice

Shoot 'em my boy x16

This is where he almost died x4
