[Intro] [Verse] Snow on the roofs like a promise kept Bells in the square, secrets wept You found me standing where we used to play Same old town, just colder veins They crowned me with smiles, with evergreen lies Said I’d keep the fire, said I’d keep them alive But winter doesn’t bargain, it only takes And I learned that lesson too damn late [Pre-Chorus] You look at me like I’m still that boy Hands numb, heart full of noise If you knew what waits beneath the square You’d run—but you came back instead [Chorus] Come closer, Moon, don’t shake The frost already knows your name I swore an oath in blood and breath To feed the dark, to cheat the death If love could save you, I’d let it burn But winter wants what it’s earned [Verse 2] Lanterns glow like borrowed suns Every laugh hides what’s to come They dance, they drink, they sing my praise While the ground remembers older days I tried to choose another way Prayed to gods that don’t fucking pray But the bells rang low, the cold took hold And the Frostborn debt came due in full [Pre-Chorus] I reach for you, then pull away Touch is a sin I can’t afford to pay If I hold you, I’ll damn us both If I don’t… I break my oath [Chorus] Come closer, Moon, don’t cry I’ve watched the brave all fucking die I swore an oath beneath the snow To guard this town, to damn my soul If love could save you, I’d let it bleed But winter’s hungry—and it feeds [Bridge - instrument drops, voice bare] Say the word and I’ll tear it down Let the frost take every house in town Say my name like a blade in the dark And I’ll choose you—fuck the mark But you’re silent And the bells are loud And the horns… They’re close now [Final Chorus] Come closer, Moon, be brave I’ll make it quick, I’ll make it sacred They’ll never know what you gave They’ll call it fate, they’ll call it saved I’ll carry you through ice and flame Last of the Frostborn—cursed by name [Outro] Snow keeps falling Town still sings And I stand alone With what winter brings
