Blood on the Snow

blood on the snow, blood on the snow
when the sunrises on solstice
there will be blood on the snow

all fall long, we feed the fatted hog
leaves and acorns blown away
winter’s darkest night
seeps in an inky cloak
all fall long, we feed the fatted hog

blood on the snow, blood on the snow
when the sunrises on solstice
there will be blood on the snow

ancestors huddled around a great bonfire
wild frenzy, a passionate feast
sun may never rise
let’s blow this all far out
ancestors huddled around a great bonfire

blood on the snow, blood on the snow
when the sunrises on solstice
there will be blood on the snow

fertile gods of collective imagination
gather their powers in a horn
a bright light, silent night watch
create a brand new ancient tradition
fertile gods of collective imagination

blood on the snow, blood on the snow
when the sunrises on solstice
there will be blood on the snow

a jolly fat man has come to visit
we showed him hospitality
he granted our deepest wonder
and childish glee
a jolly fat man has come to visit

blood on the snow, blood on the snow
when the sunrises on solstice
there will be blood on the snow
