The greatest peril of this life
One that entwines and defines
Every single thing we eat
Could rise and lead to our defeat
Once the soul is finally freed
Be it man or any beast
It will ascend up to the sky
Where it’s free to live and fly
But
It can take revenge
Spirit death
It falls down from the sky
Avenge the theft
Up your spine
Gliding quick
Kissing your neck
The breath of the Arctic
Down your throat
Cold and quick
Stealing your life
The breath of the Arctic
Silent wolf or mighty bear
Their spirits gather in the air
One day you’ll arise as well
To the realm where all souls dwell
The antlers of the caribou
Tusk of narwhal, orca too
We’ll all become part of the breath
Become as one after our deaths
But
It can take revenge
Spirit death
It falls down from the sky
Avenge the theft
Up your spine
Gliding quick
Kissing your neck
The breath of the Arctic
Down your throat
Cold and quick
Stealing your life
The breath of the Arctic
