Winter (Orchestral Version) [Live]

Well, I dreamed that I was running
Through a wilderness of plenty
And I could hear the hunt behind me
Getting closer, getting closer
And I knew that the end was coming
And I wished that it was over
Bring me the snowfall
Bring me the cold wind
Bring me the winter
Now, the mercury keeps rising
Like the sap in the blood in the oceans
And the asphalt ache is melting
In a fetid air of poison
And I could hear the soldiers coming
And I wished that it was over
Bring me the snowfall
Bring me the cold wind
Bring me the winter
I felt them tugging at my shoulder
To come and join in the celebrations
To mark the triumph of the Emperor
The all-conquering, everlasting summer
And the streets were awash with the blood of the innocents
Sacrificed to slaughter
And the crowds all drunk with power and madness
As the noise grew ever louder
And I could hear the knives being sharpened
And I wished that it was over
Bring me the snowfall
Bring me the cold wind
Bring me the snowfall
Bring me the winter
Let all the sins of the past
Be buried in the frozen ground
Let the last of the vengeance fires die
And black we'll fly and hide
Across the dead end trees
Disappear into the wild
So let the weary land be rested
And the killing season be over
Let the shadows stretch forever
In a light of burnished silver
For I fear the age of consequence
And I wish that it was over
Yes, I fear the age of consequence
And I wish that it was over
Yes, I fear the age of consequence
And I wish that it was over
Bring me the snowfall
Bring me the cold wind
Bring me the snowfall
Bring me the cold wind
Bring me the winter
