Blood Upon the Snow Lyrics – Hozier, Bear McCreary

Blood Upon the Snow Lyrics by Hozier, Bear McCreary

to all things housed in her silence
nature offers a violence
the bear that keeps to his own line
the wolf that seeks always its own kind

the world that hardens as the harsher winter holds
the parent forced to eat its young before it grows
every bird, gone unheard
starving where the ground has froze

the winter sun rise, red on white
like blood upon the snow
like blood upon the snow
the ground walked here is a wonder

it ceases never to hunger
and all things nature’s given
she takes all things back from the living
I’ve walked the Earth, and there are so few here that know

how dark the night, and just how cold the wind can blow
I’ve no more hunger now to see where the road will go
l’ve no more kept my warmth
than blood upon the snow

blood upon the snow
blood upon the snow
blood upon the snow
It’s not my arms that will fail me

but this world takes more strength than it gave me
the trees deny themselves nothing that makes them grow
no rain fall, no sunshine
no blood upon the snow

blood upon the snow
blood upon the snow
blood upon the snow
to all things housed in her silence

nature offers a violence
