Lyrics Cleansing - Wolves In The Throne Room

Cleansing

Let’s to the darkest place we know
Outside of the rider’s domain
To the heart of the wood
To the hidden places
To the clearing in the forest enchanted
Yes, to the darkest place that we know
Outside of the rider’s domain
To the heart of the wood
To the hidden places beyond the briar thickets
The dance must begin as dusk gathers around
Our skin drum and rattle
Know the tune
Jaw bone driven through
The skull of a great foe
Bested with wooden spear
The tip hardened in fire
Bathe in the clear cold stream
Fresh water from the unsullied endless spring that flows from the mountain
We will sing the most ancient song
Spark the fire upon dry tinder
The dance must begin as dusk gathers around
Our skin drum and rattle
Know the tune
Jaw bone driven through
The skull of a great foe
Bested with wooden spear
The tip hardened in fire
