Brother Wolf, Sister Dust

Found a trail where the bones don’t rot, Under skies the Lord forgot Every step I take alone — But I ain’t never truly gone

A shadow tracks me, quiet, sure With hunger I could never cure It don’t speak, it don’t forgive — Just shows me how the dead still live

Brother Wolf, Sister Dust, Walk with me through blood and rust Ain’t no god I ever trust, Only teeth and ash and dust

I buried names, I burned the rest Kept my sins close to my chest The wolf don’t ask, the wolf don’t cry — Just waits until the fire dies

We share the night, we share the cold A pact of silence, cruel and old I ain’t the hero, ain’t the prey — Just something wild that won’t obey

Brother Wolf, Sister Dust, No salvation, only trust If I fall, don’t rise me up — Let the dirt and hunger hush

Brother Wolf, Sister Dust, Mark my grave in wind and rust No stone, no name, just what I was — A howl, a trail, a soul unjust
