Winter Within — Before The Dawn

The last leaf has fallen And the soil has turned cold Wind whispers warnings Death follows the approaching storm

The last pair of wings Has fled these lands Guided by the cold white light

Frozen rain falls Freezing stream in my veins The sorrow of my heart Burden unseen Is this winter within me

The first veil of frost Thin ice that calms the waters Tranquility was brought by the passing fall

The first snow has fallen Dark woods stand silent and tall Set on fire by the northern lights
