Snow has arrived on northern grounds Miserable sighs and howling hounds Winter is here to stay
Not even the Gods stick around
Two hundred and sixty shades of white One shade of black, the endless night Welcome, Eternity
There is no respite in sight
And so it goes
Kindle the fire with all of your woes Higher and higher and brighter it burns
Into the night, broken and bitter
No daylight in sight, seething and bickering Fire-bound
Watch the shadows dance
Wait for the sun, patiently languishing Hail it as one, gone is the anguish
Fire-bound
Hear the Bastards’ voices echo through the night
Chimerical wisps of golden light The only beacon in our blight Don’t let the embers die
Boreal Bastards, unite
Shivering spines? Not an excuse!
Bring out the beer, our precious muse Drink to what could have been
Now there is fuck all to lose
And so it goes
Watch how the fire crackles and grows Higher and higher and brighter it burns
Into the night, broken and bitter
No daylight in sight, seething and bickering Fire-bound
Watch the shadows dance
Wait for the sun, patiently languishing Hail it as one, gone is the anguish
Fire-bound
Hear the Bastards’ voices echo through the night
And so it goes
Watch how the fire still crackles and grows Higher and higher and brighter,
forever the beauty will burn
Into the night, broken and bitter
No daylight in sight, seething and bickering Fire-bound
Watch the shadows dance
Wait for the sun, patiently languishing Hail it as one, gone is the anguish
Fire-bound
Hear the broken Bastards’ soaring voices
echo through the night
