We'll go together into the dark woods

Sinking with wise old tree roots

How I want to unlearn

I don't want old branches no more

Every tooth is broken

And all of the flesh is burnt



I've wounded my side

And I've wound in my hide



Don't ask what is the price of my hand

Would you be queen of my land?

When everyone else is gone



Fire, making my way much harder

All of this time I'm after

Images of my soul



And I've wounded my side

And I've wounded my hide

And I've got snakes in my eyes

And I've got snakes in my mind, mind



Peace of my mind is cast in iron

Come on now baby, ride on

Down to the root of life, life



No, no, don't give me more of your glow

Come on now baby, ride on

Down the joys of my night, night



And I've wounded my side

And I've wounded my hide

And I've got snakes in my eyes

And I've got snakes in my mind, mind



No, no, ..., die

I'm not too far down

I'm not too far gone
