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
