River stones, leaves, branches, trees The hunter runs amongst the snow Paw prints follow hoof prints It is the hunt He is the hunt
It turns, it leaps He gains a step, he gains a beat He smells the sweat, he tastes the blood The hunt is him, he's lost within it
Brown figure he hunts, So vague, but the scent is strong A greying image, cascading white fur The scent is changing
Where is the fear, the scent of prey Confusion racks him, where are the hooves He follows paw-prints, he doesn't understand He's hunted game before what is this
He can see her now, she is no prey She is white with fur, and barely pants She smells of wolf, she smells the same she leaves the scent of a hunter
He's caught now in a game he fears This is no hunt, this is no game He hunts not pray, this is unknown This is the beginnings of a dance
Where lovers lie, a foreign land A duet that plays in silence There is no hunt in loves embrace There is only the melody of yearning
This dance he still finds foreign This dance he has failed at This dance that he does not know This dance that could break him
