The Winterday

<br>Awakened by the hands of Autumn<br>The hands which made me sleep<br>Was a shadow vague yet deep<br><br>A creature, spine of the essence<br>Drifting in the wind, clad as Sin<br>The force behind my cause<br>The hands that fold me within<br><br>Awakened beneath a restless sky<br>By mountains which darken the day<br>Shadows, spiritual dust of my fathers<br>- The heart and soul of my way -<br><br>A creature, spine of the essence<br>Drifting in the wind, clad as Sin<br>The force behind my cause<br>Grim token of the path within<br><br>The Winterway<br>Leads us through the coldest night<br>The Winterway<br>To be walked by all men of might<br><br>Behold the ice on the big seas<br>The summits and the naked trees<br>Ashore the bay through the rough Winterway
