[Verse 1]
He would step out of the night
And light a fire among his tribe
Carving from a bear's tooth
He used the flesh to feed the youth
He'd salt it down...

[Verse 2]
Sails were made from darkened hide
Fish were caught in the lowest tide
Thought of war kept him strong
He listened for the battle song
In the night...

[Verse 3]
And the old would teach the young
To heed the word of the master's tongue
A chosen son would take a bride
And light the fire among his tribe
And on and on...
