Appalachian Winter - Wolfghosts lyrics

In darkness, the fear holds In the quiet, it seems as if fierce ghosts Eye living flesh with cold malevolence The cold march of time is deception Epochs die, but their ghosts still remain So it is with those who knew these mountains Long before men knew the world They knew every wind within their souls Long before men first spoke the words for theirs In the darkness, the fear holds In the quiet, the fear holds As if the forest still belongs to them; As if the mountains still glow With the shine of their eyes Their stories still hold in these times of men And the fears they gave know not an end; Their presence still known in the hearts of men The night reminds those who never knew This fear of who ruled these mountains so long ago Darkness brings a terrifying fantasy in the minds of men They startle, as if being rushed by dark forms With eyes afire is immanent
