[00:21.000]Dark of night and full of snow
[00:24.000]Pure and white and deadly
[00:26.000]My father took me by the hand
[00:29.000]And asked me, "Are you ready?"
[00:32.000]He took me up beyond the trees
[00:34.000]To where the rock is bare
[00:37.000]He took me to a frozen lake
[00:40.000]And made me say a prayer
[00:53.000]Dark of night, two feet of snow
[00:56.000]Drifting sheer and pure
[00:58.000]My father made me walk alone
[01:01.000]The frozen grave ashore
[01:04.000]When we had walked an hour more
[01:06.000]My father drew his bow
[01:08.000]He shot an arrow in my back
[01:11.000]And left me in the snow
[01:14.000]And left me in the snow!
[01:18.000]Dark of night and full of snow
[01:23.000]Bloody red and steaming
[01:28.000]He called his father's name once more
[01:34.000]But he had left him bleeding
[01:39.000]I called my father's name once more
[01:42.000]And offered him a prayer
[01:45.000]The ice cracked on the frozen lake
[01:47.000]My father left me there
[01:50.000]My father left me there!
[01:55.000]He shot an arrow in my back
[01:57.000]And then he left me there!
[02:00.000]Dark of night, three feet of snow
[02:03.000]My father had killed me
[02:05.000]I washed my boots all through the snow
[02:08.000]And knew he walked within me
[02:11.000]I called my father's father's name
[02:13.000]And offered one last prayer
[02:16.000]The ice cracked on the frozen lake
[02:19.000]And my father's love was there
[02:21.000]Dark of night and full of snow
[02:27.000]Bloody red and steaming
[02:32.000]He called his father's name once more
[02:37.000]But he had left him bleeding
[03:26.000]Four feet of snow I can't bellow;
[03:29.000]And by the dying fire
[03:31.000]My father cries in grief and shame
[03:34.000]My father cries my name
[03:36.000]I feel my father's love once more
[03:39.000]My father cries my name
[03:41.000]My father cries my name!
[03:47.000]And I feel warm again!
[03:52.000]My father cries my name,
[03:58.000]And I feel warm again!?
