[Verse 1]
Boots sink deep in frozen moss
Branches claw my leather coat
Frost on my beard
On my breath
Torch is dead
But I still go
Pack rolled tight with shaky hands
Flick of flame
A tiny sun
Smoke curls up through crooked pines
Midnight rites have just begun
[Chorus]
I’m smoking green in the blackwood frost
Ash on my tongue
And I count my ghosts
Cold wind howls
But it fills my lungs
Dark Norwegian forest
Pine resin in my lungs
(in my lungs, in my lungs)
[Verse 2]
Owls write circles in the sky
Far off roar from some old god
Snowflakes melt on burning leaf
Headlights fade
I’m long since gone
Hear my heartbeat pound the night
Like a war drum under snow
Every drag
A deeper root
Into dirt I’ll never show
[Chorus]
I’m smoking green in the blackwood frost
Ash on my tongue
And I count my ghosts
Cold wind howls
But it fills my lungs
Dark Norwegian forest
Pine resin in my lungs
Dark Norwegian forest
Pine resin in my lungs
[Bridge]
[Half-time
Drums slam
Guitars drone]
Stare at the stars till they start to crawl
Ancient runes in the tree line call
If this is hell
Let the embers fall
Let the embers fall
Let the embers fall (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m smoking green in the blackwood frost
Ash on my tongue
And I count my ghosts
Cold wind howls
But it fills my lungs
Dark Norwegian forest
Pine resin in my lungs
Dark Norwegian forest
Pine resin in my lungs
