A gang of hunters get drunk on wine while roaming in the woods and come across the tracks from the Children. Slaughtering ensues. Metaphysical laments. Two survive.
lyrics
Out in the hills with lantern shining bright /we traveled slowly with a pack into the night
The woods were lit up like a Sunday afternoon/ with shadows dripping from the lonely autumn moon
Our guts were full of spirits we could not contain/ our lungs were bathing empty pockets in the rain
We came across some tracks that led beyond the shore/ What barefoot devils travel wildly by the score?
Do you think its true that we will never die, or we just kind of float away?
Or do you think we go up there or way below and simmer for eternity?
We live, the others died- where is the other side?- you and me we must be on our way…
Illuminating things so strangely through the trees/ Deception lingers where some monster used to be
Some blood was found and beating fast we followed through/ convinced ourselves that there was only one or two
Our breath was short and now our bodies tense and fine/ we loaded rifles, tried to shake off all the wine
When thunder crashed we ducked and huddled in the rain/ orange flashing lights lit up deceptively again
Chorus
So in our path a nightmare howling at the moon/ wild death a cunning sort do you need us so soon?
Their bodies small and frail but heads of demon cast/ these children devils time has surely come to pass
With god in hand and blood exploding all around/ so goes the devil back to hell they will be found
We cut off all the heads arranged in shallow grave/ damned evil wolf heads will never linger on this way
