Wolves in the Throne Room - To Reveal
(Look at the moon) ★ repeated ★
(Look at those whose hands are broken) ★ repeated ★
He runs away (x4)
(The moon shines) ★ repeated ★
He runs away into the dark
And looks into his prey's eyes in panic
The potion's wild power never tamed
A warning of a betrayal
Hurry up to our realm
Hurry up
When my potion is ready, the potion that he awaits
Return to the forest
Before the lord of the wood comes back
Bright and early and tired of hunting
For their own bellies
They will gorge on the kill
Having slayed it with fire
For the hunt was an instant capital offense
For in the forest they had killed a creature
That had been rejoicing
Wherever they are they will have karma
And for their punishment they should hang
That's what they deserve
They will be hung soon
Their widows, they are by themselves forever
Now that I fear becoming tired, or of hanging
For the time I'd rather keep quiet
He is poised and ready
Throwing an animal into water
It will drown in its own blood
In homage to a great foe, he takes his bow
He will kill in the once-green wilderness
For the lord's harvest
