[Intro] [Verse 1] He came with the morning light, A shadow on the hill. His horse was grey, his cloak was worn, The world was standing still. I knew him not by name or face, But by the winter's chill. [Refrain] Cold wind from the sea, He walks the road alone. [Verse 2] He spoke of lands beyond the ice, Of battles lost and won. I said: "The road will take you far, Before the day is done." He only smiled, and did not speak, And watched the rising sun. [Refrain] Cold wind from the sea, He walks the road alone. [Chorus] I know you now, I know you well, The one the runes foretold. So take my hand and ride with me, And let the fire take hold. [Verse 3] He will not stay, I know it now, The road is in his blood. He'll ride away before the frost, Through fire and through flood. And I will wait, and I will watch, And I will stay where I have stood. [Refrain] Cold wind from the sea, He walks the road alone. [Bridge] The Norns are spinning at the well, They do not speak, they only tell. I know. I know. [Final Chorus] I know you now, I know you well, The one the runes foretold. So take my hand and ride with me, And let the fire take hold. [Outro] Cold wind from the sea... I know... [End]
