We Are the Strangers

(Newborn, the forest is your home You're in a secret place without food Cleanse your spirit with cold water You'll lose your human smell You will not eat, not yet.) Bodies of clay and blood Stand in our way Their stink of rot burns our breath This place will be a grave (You brother's corpse is now on your tree The branches are his mortuary He is desiccated, lifeless You will not eat, not yet) Strangers are blood red snakes Their tongues of flame One twists the sister tight The other hisses me to die Keep your eyes in mine We knew the danger I bleed at your side He'll get his vengeance We're gonna win this fight We are his rangers I'll try until I die We are the Strangers (Your brother is in your lair Drowned mummy in salt water The Shaman took off his skin The belly is open, empty Now smoke your brother You will not eat, not yet) My half is tied to one of them His tentacles like chains The other turns to me and casts Black words of dying faith (Your brother is on the altar His smell inebriates the forest His crispy skin tempts the beasts He's ready but you will not eat Not yet) I have the power of bear My hooves are that of deer I have the bite of wolf My gaze is that of hawk Keep your eyes in mine We knew the danger I bleed at your side He'll get his vengeance We'll win this fight We are his rangers I'll try until I die Now we are the Strangers With the rise of the new sun Your sacrifice saves us With the shining of the moon You will stop this war of gloom With the coming of the day You will lose your rotten faith With the arrival of the night You will feed the final sacrifice (Now put on the sacred mask The power of nature rises You are the Giant It's time to become one of us It's time to eat and you will do it Your belly opens in a vent It spits the real truth Don't leave me, It's not the time to rest It's time to tell me what to do Keep your eyes in mine We knew the danger I bleed at your side He'll get his vengeance We're gonna win this fight We are his rangers I'll try until I die We are the Strangers
