lyrics

Feel the wind on your teeth-
see the moon through the trees?
Back when I was your age
I thought I could carry it's light inside me,
thought I could see myself reflected by the light in it's eyes.

And my son, your swiftness will serve you well.
And my son, heed what I do tell you:
do not kill only to feel the blood pool in your teeth,
to feel it's heart stop it's beating;
kill only, my son, kill only to fill your belly.

Chorus:
Don't give yourself away.
The deer can hear us from a mile away-
so if you want to eat tonight;
baby boy, step light.

And remember that home is with the pack,
and remember that only fools attack alone.
And remember that heroes are remembered well
only for the warnings their stories tell;
don't be a hero, my son.

And chorus

Feel the wind on your teeth
and how the moon guides you through the trees?
Back when I was your age
I thought I could carry it's light inside me,
thought I could see myself reflected by the light in it's eyes:
Now I see myself in you.
Now I see myself in you.
Now I see why I am here when I look at you.
