[Verse 1]
Old stone in our shoulders
Frost in the fold of our scars
Names carved into thunder
Ice-pale under the stars
We have watched empires rust
Heard banners burn in the rain
Counted each century’s dust
Grain by grinding grain
[Chorus]
We are the Long Fangs
Teeth of the ending
Patience like mountains
Coiled
Unbending
We let the loud world
Rage
Then fall flat
When all have spoken
Long Fangs speak last
[Verse 2]
Cold guns on the ridgeline
Smoke curls
Tasting the snow
Eyes older than planets
Tracking each flicker below
We remember first war-cries
Iron and blood on the wind
Every lost shield brother
Marches inside our grin
[Chorus]
We are the Long Fangs
Teeth of the ending
Patience like mountains
Coiled
Unbending
We let the loud world
Rage
Then fall flat
When all have spoken
Long Fangs speak last
[Bridge]
Low voices rising
(hoom-ha, hoom-ha)
Oaths in an ancient tongue
Names of the fallen
One by one by one
Deep horns calling
Far drums answer back
Time itself halts
Looks over its shoulder
Steps off our track
[Chorus]
We are the Long Fangs
Teeth of the ending
Patience like mountains
Coiled
Unbending
We watch the bright fire
Fade into black
When all have spoken
Long Fangs speak last
(we speak last)
