Mouth Full of Snow

We'll freeze, if we don't race Woman cries out, she slows our pace Sure you're getting thirsty, you bear a heavy load Need a little water, fill your mouth with snow We watched her stumbling, her swollen belly trembling, there's no denying that it's time Listen woman, the men will leave you out here, you know you can't be left behind The pace, is set by the men The mystery of birth, they don't understand See it in their eyes, heads hanging low She screams, mouth full of snow She delivered, started bleeding, tried to stop it with some snow Couldn't save her, she stopped breathing, what's a simple man to know The baby's cry gives the men a fright An odd sound on a silent frozen night Mercy isn't easy, the men already know The best thing for that baby now, is a mouth full of snow Little bundle, barely breathing, you don't deserve this cold Precious spirit, quickly fleeting, we covered it with snow So we roll, mouth full of snow We move on, mouth full of snow Steaming, steaming, steaming The pace is set by the men
