The Fading Winter Light

Verse 1

You wanted gold

You wanted land

Every man beneath your command

Stone by stone you built your walls so high

Higher every year to watch us crawl

Pre-Chorus

But winter doesn't care

How powerful you are

Ice will cover palaces

The same as every farm

Chorus

Frozen throne

Cold crown

Look at your kingdom now

No voices in your hall

No soldiers at your call

Post-Chorus

Frozen throne

Frozen throne

Verse 2

Your table stretched for twenty

You always ate alone

A thousand men protected

A king nobody knew

You feared every whisper

You trusted not a soul

The crown you fought to conquer

Was the thing that took control

Pre-Chorus

Then came the longest winter

The roads disappeared

Your army stopped believing

The people lost their fear

Chorus

Frozen throne

Cold crown

Who will kneel before you now

Power without loyalty

Is only borrowed time

Post-Chorus

Frozen throne

Frozen throne

Bridge

A kingdom built on fear

Will eventually decline

Morning finds the palace

Buried underneath the white

No revolution

No final fight

Instrumental Break

Chorus

Frozen throne

Cold crown

Look at your kingdom now

No voices in your hall

No soldiers at your call

Outro

Just an empty throne

In the fading winter light

Fading winter light
