[Verse 1] We are the children Haunted by ghosts Your quiet decisions We hung them on posts The future keeps records Of every cold breath You laughed at our hunger We learned about death [Chorus] Winter never forgets Carves your names in the ice Every wound that you left Every roll of the dice By the gates of your cruelty Where the wind cuts like knives Winter never forgets What you did to our lives [Verse 2] We stand by the gate Where you turned away Your words like stones Still bruise today We hold you in contempt In the ash and the dust By the power of Gods We will rise from the rust [Chorus] [Bridge] From now we tell the stories In a circle In the dark [whispered vocals] Your faces by the fire Your verdicts on our hearts We are the children No longer afraid Your reign in the snowfall Ends here at this gate [Chorus]
