Lyrics
[Intro] Frost gathers on the iron gate The northern field lies still A pale wind bends the dead grass And carries the winter's will [Verse 1] Under a sky of hammered steel I walk where ravens turn The earth keeps every name concealed The roots remember what we learn [Pre-Chorus] No torch survives the bitter air No bell can breach the white I feel the ancient silence stare Through every frozen night [Chorus] Cold fire beneath the snow Burning where the black pines grow Raise your eyes to the vacant sky Let the last warm season die [Verse 2] The river wears a sheet of glass Its current locked below Across the bridge, the hours pass Like blades in falling snow [Bridge] A distant horn inside the storm A pulse beneath the stone The dark does not require a form It claims what stands alone [Chorus] Cold fire beneath the snow Burning where the black pines grow Raise your eyes to the vacant sky Let the last warm season die [Outro] When morning finds the fields unchanged And frost seals every door I will return to what remained And ask the wind for more
