[Verse 1]
Boots on the briar
Breath in the cold
Old crow watching from a dead bent bough
Night like iron
Heavy and rolled
Something in the dark is hunting now
[Chorus]
So run
Boy
Run
The wolf is on your heel
Teeth like winter
Heart of hammered steel
Branches lash and the black roots reel
So run
Boy
Run
Don't let him taste your fear
[Verse 2]
Moon cuts silver through the tangled pines
Eyes burn yellow where the shadows turn
Hot on your footprints
Low dark whine
Every snapped twig says
"You’ll never learn"
[Chorus]
So run
Boy
Run
The wolf is on your heel
Teeth like winter
Heart of hammered steel
Branches lash and the black roots reel
So run
Boy
Run
Don't let him taste your fear
[Bridge]
Over the log and under the thorn (hey!)
Mud in your mouth and blood in your shoe
Old tales told of the ones torn
Pray the forest lets you pass on through (ohhh)
[Chorus]
So run
Boy
Run
The wolf is on your heel
Teeth like winter
Heart of hammered steel
Branches lash and the black roots reel
So run
Boy
Run
Don't let him taste your fear
So run
Boy
Run
Till the cold dawn's near
