[Part I - An Oncoming Storm]
Here it comes, the moment that is one of both fear and hope
Lurking behind every setting of the Sun
When the Frost King gathered his strength to fight while struggling to cope
With the suffering of himself and his people
To fight for their cause, like the Fey King before
And in the midst of this stands a human child
Can he open their eyes?
'Tis a story of some childhood flaws
Keeps one from grasping nature's laws
Yet like new snow they shone so bright
That fateful night
Off he went (off he went)
A young child (a young child)
Into the (into the)
Unknown wild
Bravely
He went on a quest to make seasons’ kings
Let their swords fall forever
To never be lifted again
And how could he have failed it?
Every other tale he’d been told
Seated round a soothing hearth
Had a happy end
Painted a worldview so innocent
It was the whole of his world
But kings they rise, and they fall
At every equinox
It has no ending
Every war they have fought forgotten
Following each victory or death It is the whole of their world
As the great wheel of time turns
[Part II - Shifting Seasons]
They shall meet, in wood, in glen
Thunder and blizzard will clash again
Their sorrow, in snow and rain
Tears falling for victims of their reign
Weapons raised, impassioned eyes
The air will fill with their battle cries
And the boy just as headstrong
Still thinks that he can right a wrong
[Part III - And Leaves They Fall Still]
You Fey King, burned my skin
Stole my slumber and my kin
For your crimes I curse thee now
They will not last, this I avow
You Frost King, chilled my folk
Confined us under an icy yoke
For your crimes I curse thee now
They will not last, this I avow
The Fey king has danced so proudly
But time has come for summer to end
As the leaves begin to fall down
He's already so much weaker
And as one is slowly dying
The other is then at his strongest
It’s the force of shifting seasons
One that keeps the balance of the wheel
Now they charge with intention to kill
The boy cries, pleads with them to quit
Boldly standing there in their way
Frost King strikes a powerful blow
Autumn leaves now cover the hills
As the throat of summer is slit
Beside him, one who came in the way
A small shape fallen in the snow
[Part IV - The Wheel Turns]
He could not grasp nature’s laws
Or that one can’t always change a mind by just being kind
Off he went (off he went)
A young child (a young child)
Into the (into the)
Unknown wild
So naive
He went on a quest to make season's kings
Let their sword fall forever
But his tries were all in vain
And his spring turned to winter
Every other tale he’d been told
Seated round a soothing hearth
Had a happy end
Painted a worldview so innocent
It was the whole of his world
But kings they rise, and they fall
At every equinox
It has no ending
Every war they have fought forgotten
Following each victory or death
It is the whole of their world
As the great wheel of time turns
But kings they rise, and they fall
At every equinox
It has no ending (no ending)
Every war they have fought forgotten
Following each victory or death
It is the whole of their world
As the great wheel of time turns
