[Verse 1]
In the place where the animal went down to the water to die
A swamp grew
And rotting stump wood
Their darkest homes
[Verse 2]
The people stopping only long enough for day to come
Holding breaths
Waiting for morning
Among the bones
[Verse 3]
The white stag hung on a skeleton in the dusk
Skin surrendered
Bleached and withered
Broken and blown
[Verse 4]
A snag fallen into the mud from the tallest tree
No one seeing
A wooden antler
Decaying bone
[Outro]
In the mud
In the mud
In the mud
In the mud
In the mud
