Lyrics
Out stealing horses
junkets on their dime
fjords and then onto the sea
Out stealing horses
junkets on their dime
fjords and then onto the sea
The last place on the earth is
the last place they'll go
in the wake of my soul they will know
Metanoia, metanoia
I'm headed north, boreal
Clank of the cowbells
barefoot and bonfire
timber and onto the fields
Clank of the cowbells
barefoot and bonfire
timber and onto the fields
The last place on earth is
the last place they'll go
in the wake of my dreams they will know
The last place on earth is
the last place they'll go
in the wake of my soul they will know
Metanoia, metanoia
I'm headed north, boreal
Like Willi and Edi
in whisper and snowflake
glacier and onto the sky
Like Anderl and Toni
in whisper and snowflake
glacier and onto the sky
The last place on earth is
the last place they will go
in the wake of my soul they will know
The last place on earth is
the last place they'll go
in the wake of my dreams they will know
Metanoia, metanoia
I'm headed north, boreal
I'm headed north, boreal
I'm headed north, boreal
I'm headed north, boreal
