Arctic Dogs

about

Recorded in Paris by Pierre Faa
Artwork by Martin O'Neill

lyrics

Outer limits
Pure desert
Should I have followed you?

For the Northern Lights
You see them in your dreams
This vision
Dangles at an arm’s length

Stay awake
We’re trying to survive
Though the ice is cracking we are still alive

Stay awake
Don’t let yourself go numb
Feel and feel
Until all feeling’s gone

In the very source of cold
We will make a space for warmth
Digging like the arctic dogs
We’ll burrow our long bodies down

We’re out here
For beauty
Alluring siren’s song

We’re out here
For symbols
Milk and honey
Just a little further

When we find it
We’ll sleep a thousand years
Let our hair grow around us
Spin a tight cocoon

Metamorphosis
To evolve beyond our fears
Wake up light and fly
With the shifty moon

In the very source of cold
We will make a space for warmth
Digging like the arctic dogs
We’ll burrow our long bodies down
