Monument
Their arrows darkened the sky
The thunder of their feet not far behind
Through the trees, death bore us on
At spear point
We carved paths where there were none
Until the land fell away
Their ghosts led us here
To this place where our fathers
Songs are never sung
Below us stones sharpened to teeth
By living water
I know the white in hunted eyes
We were not as wolves
But the herd driven before them
Cornered
Some chose chains
And others failed to fly
I run
The last steps only air
The spray above the roar below
Calls me down but the dead won't have me
Their ghosts led us here
To this place where our song
Will never be forgotten
Below us stones sharpened to teeth
By living water
I know the white in hunted eyes
We were not as wolves
But the herd driven before them
Cornered
Some chose chains
And others failed to fly
Pile your stones atop me
We're the voices in the rivers
Pile your stones atop me
We're the lights in the trees at night
Pile your stones atop me
The thunder of their feet not far behind
Through the trees, death bore us on
At spear point
We carved paths where there were none
Until the land fell away
Their ghosts led us here
To this place where our fathers
Songs are never sung
Below us stones sharpened to teeth
By living water
I know the white in hunted eyes
We were not as wolves
But the herd driven before them
Cornered
Some chose chains
And others failed to fly
I run
The last steps only air
The spray above the roar below
Calls me down but the dead won't have me
Their ghosts led us here
To this place where our song
Will never be forgotten
Below us stones sharpened to teeth
By living water
I know the white in hunted eyes
We were not as wolves
But the herd driven before them
Cornered
Some chose chains
And others failed to fly
Pile your stones atop me
We're the voices in the rivers
Pile your stones atop me
We're the lights in the trees at night
Pile your stones atop me
