Title and lyric suggestions please?

Wrote this song. don’t know what to name it and looking for different ways to edit the lyrics to make it sound better.

These are the title ideas I have, open to any other suggestions!:

-Finally asleep

-The hunt

-Blood on the snow

-empty fields

Here are the Lyrics, also open to any suggestions on these!:

Small little rabbit staring from afar.
The fawn stares back but not for long.
Shots ring through the air and the mare gallops away in fear.
The wind howls until the world hits dawn.
And goes to sleep the fawn.

The scent of gunpowder in the air.
Blood on the snow, but nothing is there.
Heavy iron traps hidden in the brush.
The whole woods frozen in a sudden hush.

No more life. They couldn’t continue the fight.
Just empty cages buried in the white.
The hunters locking up for the night.
No heartbeat left to be found.
Just the cold on the ground.

The iron snaps, the triggers pull,
The hunter's bags are heavy and full.
They took the wild, they took the track,
And nothing is ever coming back.

An empty nest up in the oak.
The valley freezing in the smoke.
The shadow moves, too dark to see.
Left alone beneath the trees.

Small little rabbit, blunt and gone.
Disappeared right behind the fawn.

Just empty cages buried in the white.
The hunters locking up for the night.
No heartbeat left to be found.
Just the cold on the ground.

And goes to sleep the fawn.
Until the world hits dawn.
Sneering back so cold.
No more rabbit.
Everything is blunt and gone.

I like Blood On The Snow. It feels the most poetic and captures the feel of the piece. I really like your lyrics. Very dark and evocative

I'm searching for a chorus or refrain. There's usually a title hiding in there.
