The Hours of Wintertime Lyrics

Take my arms and my shield
and instead this life will I wield.
Now I'll guild my battles with chrome,
All the glory best earned alone.

Take my love and my hands
broken justly and damned
To align with destiny's trust
And grind that fate back to dust

I could go, if I may
What makes me strong is today
So I swear by hours of wintertime I'll stay
I've begun to see the end
I'll chase the battle off world's end
and so I swear by hours of wintertime I'll stay

Star grows cold in the heat
and a life takes rest at my feet
Almighty, ever unsold
from the hate to the sunlight betrothed

Give me power in your stead
irridesce as a measure of worth in this
oh see, for the means yet to fight
this regime made ancient tonight

I could go, if I may
What makes me strong is today
So I swear by hours of wintertime I'll stay
I've begun to see the end
I'll chase the battle off world's end
and so I swear by hours of wintertime I'll stay

Now am I meant to go, meant to fight this time?
In the scale of our war, is it better to fight now or see what's in store?

And now I'm left here fighting on my own x10
I'm always left here fighting on my own x2
How long will I be fighting on my own? X2
I guess I'll have to fight this on my own x2

I could go, if I may
What makes me strong is today
So I swear by hours of wintertime I'll stay
I've begun to see the end
I'll chase the battle off world's end
and so I swear by hours of wintertime I'll stay

And now I'm left here fighting on my own x8
