Winter Born (This Sacrifice) - The Crüxshadows

Dry your eyes

Dry your eyes

Dry your eyes

Dry your eyes

Dry your eyes

And quietly bear this pain with pride,

For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave.

And promise me, they will never see

The fear within our eyes.

(my eyes are closed)

For we will give strength to those who still remain.

So bury fear, while fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain.

With noble acts

The bravest souls endure,

The heart’s remains.

Discard regret,

That in this debt

A better world is made

And children of a newer day might remember

And avoid our fate.

I waited all day in the pouring rain,

But nobody came,

No nobody came.

(Prepare for battle)

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You’ve asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith is come

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

Hold your head up high

For there is no greater love

Think of the faces of the people you defend

And promise me, they will never see

The tears within our eyes (My eyes are closed)

Although we are men with mortal sins,

Angels never cry

So bury fear for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart’s remains

Discard regret,

That in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

(Prepare for battle)

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You’ve asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in God

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

I will be your light

A lifetime for this destiny

For I am winter born

And in this moment…

I will not run, it is my place to stand

We few shall carry hope

Within our bloodied hands

And in our Dying

We’re more alive- than we have ever been

I’ve lived for these few seconds

For I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be the light

You’ve asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in man

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

Within this moment

I am for you,

Though better men have failed

I will give my life for love

For I am Winter born
