Wilderman Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My brother and I, build dens at night

Out in the pines grew thicker over time

We took our turns

And we learnt to love our little minds



[Verse 2]

We walked into the wilderness

Bearing the courage of the Wilderman

They hide in the night in the trees

With silhouette figures



[Verse 3]

Shapes and shadows they start to surround

We shine our torches and made monsters with our hands

We weren't afraid because we taught them how to dance

You're so blind to our way of life



[Chorus]

Oh carry on your heavy load

Oh is life a burden on your backbones

If so take control, and build a hill beneath your home

Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope

If the lines upon your hands, predict this soul

Why are we waiting, why are we wasting time



[Verse 4]

My brother and I, we used our minds

We set up traps to catch the beasts before they bite

They come from under

And they try to take you from your life



[Verse 5]

We followed footprints, down to the lake

We lost the scent, two shadows cast from outer space

We passed our curfew

But we knew the Wilderman would wait



[Verse 6]

Strength in numbers we formed our parade

Over the hilltop and we found them in a cave

We didn't fight because we taught them to behave

You're so blind when you close your eyes



[Chorus]

Oh follow us into the unknown

Oh are you wild or do you walk alone

If so take control, and build a hill beneath your home

Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope

If the lines upon your hands, predict this soul

Why are we waiting, why are we wasting time



[Verse 7]

Further and further watch them run

We proved your wrong, we proved you wrong

You lived each day in your cowardly ways

You lived each day to deliver me pain



[Chorus]

Oh carry on your heavy load

Oh is life a burden on your backbones

If so take control, and build a hill beneath your home

Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope

If the lines upon your hands, predict this soul

Why are we waiting, why are we wasting time
