Winter Is Coming

(album: Beyond The Black - 2023)

I see it flying high upon the evening skies
The wings as dark as night, a demon in disguise
Already now, before it reaches us down here
It fills our worried hearts with fear

Whoever hungers won't see many days to come
Whoever has no roof won't be with us for long
Bring in the last few crops that wither in the fields
Before the frost will count our meals

Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Watch out, winter is coming
Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose
Winter is coming close

Some only know it by the tales the elders told
The blooming years already vanished with the cold
The nights grow longer and hold terrors for the young
And death will sing the winters song

Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Watch out, winter is coming
Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose
Who knows what follows with the ever endless night
Spare us in these days from the curse of winters blight
Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Winter is coming close

Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Watch out, winter is coming
Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose
Who knows what follows with the ever endless night
Spare us in these days from the curse of winters blight
Watch out, winter is coming
Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls
Winter is coming close
