Before the winter comes Make peace with your gods For no hope lasts with men When the summer sets I feel the gusts of September's wind It calls to me, to a fixture in my past Of the day that a season found me And left its mark upon my visions My kingdom cold is fast approaching I still remember my first view of vastness White fire swept clean the earth Leaving desolate the plains of this world A glacial reckoning of what's to come Tree bark splits and crystals form Beginning of a new chapter Turn the page to see what happens Archaic in an aftermath Before the start of autumnal collapse Batten down the hatches Prepare for a pale darkness O, winter is coming Mother Nature and Mother Earth conspire To end the infernal months And begin illustrious duration Glisten for me precious seasons You give freedom to my words On hands and knees I beg Release me from perpetual scorn Gazing upon grey skies Watchful for signs of life That clouds of dark split wide A rift for snowfall deep inside When the warmth begins to fade I feel pleasure in my knowledge That once the forest bleeds Old Man Winter shall rear his head The one eyed wanderer Two crows circling the sky Might spear Gungnir in hand Trudging through depths on land Gift from the heavens So majestic in your movement I call to thee Beseeched to an early arrival I was born as a son of the frost Destined as a prophet of cold A soothing shade of winter In a forest murdered by ice This is my path through life To impeach the genesis of spring Endure the harshness of heat And pray for my beloved's return The drudkh of forests charred Burned by a cold sliver fire Still in woodlands, stillborn wood Born of ash in an ancient world Return to the cradle of life Zenith of a grandiose design Watch the stars as I become skyclad The progeny of pagan gods As much a son as I am a daughter Borne of the tempered water The temple of temperance A dedication to absence of progress Soaring 'cross the ageless sky Black ravens of a smouldering high Feathering falling of symbolic might A prophecy of what lies in sight A blanket of death precedes you The forest floor, a graveyard Before duality encompasses all Smothering all that was left behind Abandon all that you've ever known The compass points towards what north is shown A journey to my point of dawning Where the goddess birthed me, at the edge of a world Universal inheritance Weightless and drifting When the polar winds are blowing Where the solar winds are growing I watch lifeblood drain away Bathed in frost from a thawed domain Realm drenched in white, life withers away A legend of reborn immortality Stare into the reflecting pools But don't step through A muted glistening, listening Close to the nocturne
