[Verse 1]
Standing in a circle
The wolves have come
But they won't bother her, no
'Cause dancing with her hands of leaves
She'll sing for them
And ease their hungerin'
She's a quiet warrior

[Verse 2]
Standing at the ocean's stoney shores
The waves all worship her, oh
She stands in trust and lets the night swallow her
Because she knows that she's a piece of the sun
And a quiet warrior

[Chorus]
You ask her where from the wind blows
She'll say it's how the sky sings
And you ask her, "How does the sun rise?"
She'll say 'cause you desire it to be seen
And you ask her how does she make your heart fly
And she'll tell you
You know why
She's your quiet warrior

[Verse 3]
Ravens, they rest on his golden crown
And steal your soul
He smiles and it feels like you've known him
Yes, it feels like coming home
He's a quiet warrior

[Verse 4]
And roaring silently, he's a lion
And he'll hunt for you
His eyes are warm because his hands
They are made of light
And they seduce your soul
He's a quiet warrior

[Chorus]
You ask him where from the wind blows
He says that the earth breathes
And you ask him, "How does the sun rise?"
He'll say that she's got wings
And you ask him how does he make your heart fly
And he'll tell you
You know why
He's your quiet warrior
Ah
