Lyrics:
I learned from ravens how to stitch the sky,
how to bind a heartbeat when it wants to fly
Under the pines, I took my new name
Quiet and bright, I stayed the same

The hill of sleeping stones hums low and near,
a cradle of thunder only I can hear
I press my palm to the rune-warm crust,
it answers in ember, in whisper and dust

I call the thread by its secret sound,
I bite the frost and will not bow down

Snow keeps the names where silence is set,
carved into breath, I can’t forget
I stand where the night puts out its flame
you call me back, I answer the same
Snow keeps the names, snow keeps the names

They told me bend the wind whispers rise
I stitched my wounds with northern skies
I drink from silence, steady and slow,
and wear my grief like a wolf-worn cloak

I braid the dawn in the braid of my hair,
I bargain with fate for a mouthful of air

Snow keeps the names where silence is set,
carved into breath, I can’t forget
I stand where the night puts out its flame
you call me back, I answer the same
Snow keeps the names, snow keeps the names

Norns at the loom with frost on your sleeves,
measure my path in needles and leaves

Snow keeps the names where silence is set,
carved into breath, I can’t forget
I stand where the night puts out its flame
you call me back, I answer the same
Snow keeps the names, snow keeps the names

Hush now, hush, white world, wide
I am the echo you couldn’t hide
When all is quiet and nothing remains,
listen the snow still keeps our names
