When Winter Comes

When winter comes

When life is frozen

When the moors they hide away under the snow

Fingers of doom

Will clutch the chosen

All beasts will shiver, from the lion to the crow

When winter comes

When times are starkest

When the wailing of the wolves fades with the sun

The wilds are numb

The days are darkest

The fates of many cease to rest on only one

Walls will not hold the winter

Over and under crawl

Walls will not hold the winter

All in the way will fall

When winter comes

When thrones are idle

When the brave they cower under eyes of blue

The rising roar

The endless cycle

Turns the darkest myths of yesterday to truth

Walls will not hold the winter

Over and under crawl

Walls will not hold the winter

All in the way will fall
