Long ago we had our guardians
Gods of stone burned bright to light the earth
and greedy we plundered rocky gardens
we forgot the harvest’s worth
so here comes the chill when you think the night air is still
there it stirs through the leaves whispering deadly for to breathe
the Lights have all gone too dim
we are snowed in our walls are too thin
and here comes cold wind
we’re at the mercy of cold wind
Long ago we lived by firelight
and hungry for our warmth, hungry for our health
we died by it and then
Snarling tails consumed our sight
and in strength we were so blinded by it
so here comes for you when you think you’ve made it through
and for me through the leaves
there’s a howling in the trees
Lights have all gone too dim
we are snowed in our walls are too thin
and here comes cold wind
we’re at the mercy of cold wind
We’ve got nowhere to stay
we can’t run away we’ve sealed our fate
dark is the way
we let the cold wind sweep us away
Winter claims what it wants
Oh, Winter claims what it wants
How foolish we were to think us strong
How foolish we were, foolish we were, foolish we are
Lights have all gone too dim
we are snowed in our walls our too thin
and here comes cold wind
Lights have all gone too dim
we are snowed in our walls are too thin
and here comes cold wind
we’re at the mercy of cold wind
We’ve got nowhere to stay
we can’t run away we’ve sealed our fate
dark is the way
we let the cold wind sweep us away
Cold Wind! Sweep me away!
Cold Wind! Ahhh!
Cold Wind! Sweep me away!
Cold Wind! Ahhh!
