lyrics

A church upon the riverside
Decrepit yet still wild things stay dry inside
The bears and the bees retreat
A chill besets their bones it's time to sleep

A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
That looms above
A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
I'm quivering

Me and my clumsy human ways
Lay eyes upon the church by the icy riverside
A boar upon the chipped white wooden steps
Reminds that it's not me this ground is hallowed to

A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
That looms above
A single breath
Hovers in the air like a cloud in the storm
I'm quivering
