When a Powerful Animal Comes

[Intro]

One, two

One, two, three

[Verse 1]

We move by night

Cover our tracks well and we pack light

Follow the shoreline 'til we've run clean out of land

Speak in gestures only we can understand

[Chorus]

We've made mistakes

Everyone spots their own mess when the dawn breaks

[Verse 2]

We get so exhausted

Lost kids, just wasted

Sleep in short shifts and then rise up to our feet

Life is short, and life is hard, and life is sweet

[Chorus]

The treeline shakes

We roll hard along some long odds when the dawn breaks

[Bridge]

See soft peaks off in the distance

Those people in the mountains

They will never know what hit them

[Verse 3]

We shed dead weight

It gets pretty hard to concentrate

Practice our prayers until some small hope crystallizes

Follow the shoreline till some better hope arises

[Chorus]

Behold, the beast awakes

Stand trapped in his great shadow when the dawn breaks
