Steeleye Span - Wintersmith lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Wintersmith lyrics]
Far along the back road
Winding through the forest
At the end of faith and hope
And the dark black trees
An icy wind is rising
Just as sharp as any knives
Cutting through the lives of those who toil
Against the Freeze
Where Death stands by the cradle
Where blood runs through the moors
Fire Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight
Of the WinterSmith! The WinterSmith!
Among the chilling screams and the
Heavy drum of hooves
Her centre never moves as the
Sheep-girl wait's to fight
She's fair as stars in Heaven and
The flowers of the land
Lighting in her left hand and
Thunder in her right
Where Death stands by the cradle
Where blood runs through the moors
Fire Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight!
Of the WinterSmith! The WinterSmith!
Where the Tangled bones of shipwreck
Lie upon a distant shore
(There is the WinterSmith)
Where a thousand drowning voices rise
From the ocean floor
(There is the WinterSmith)
Where, the Silver Moon cast shapes
Upon the frozen floor
(There is the WinterSmith)
There is the WinterSmith!
Fire Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through, the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight!
Of the WinterSmith!
Fire, Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight!
Of the WinterSmith! WinterSmith!
Winding through the forest
At the end of faith and hope
And the dark black trees
An icy wind is rising
Just as sharp as any knives
Cutting through the lives of those who toil
Against the Freeze
Where Death stands by the cradle
Where blood runs through the moors
Fire Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight
Of the WinterSmith! The WinterSmith!
Among the chilling screams and the
Heavy drum of hooves
Her centre never moves as the
Sheep-girl wait's to fight
She's fair as stars in Heaven and
The flowers of the land
Lighting in her left hand and
Thunder in her right
Where Death stands by the cradle
Where blood runs through the moors
Fire Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight!
Of the WinterSmith! The WinterSmith!
Where the Tangled bones of shipwreck
Lie upon a distant shore
(There is the WinterSmith)
Where a thousand drowning voices rise
From the ocean floor
(There is the WinterSmith)
Where, the Silver Moon cast shapes
Upon the frozen floor
(There is the WinterSmith)
There is the WinterSmith!
Fire Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through, the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight!
Of the WinterSmith!
Fire, Burn! Fire blaze so bright!
Keep us warm through the long Winter night!
Flames keep away the fearsome sight!
Of the WinterSmith! WinterSmith!
