       Bm                 A6/9             Bm            A6/9 
Well I dreamed that I was running, through a wilderness of plenty 
            Bm              A6/9           Bm              A6/9 
And I could hear the hunt behind me, getting closer, getting closer 
      Bm                    A6/9       Bm                 A6/9 
And I knew that the end was coming and I wished that it was over 
             B5                     Bsus4/A                 Bm      A6/9 
Bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind, bring me the winter

And now the mercury keeps rising, like the sap and the blood and the oceans 
        Bm            A6/9          Bm           A6/9 
And the asphalt acres melting, in the fetid air of poison 
          Bm                A6/9       Bm               A6/9 
And I can hear the soldiers coming and I wish that it was over 
             B5                     Bsus4/A                 Bm      A6/9

            Em            B7sus/E              Em              B7sus/E 
I felt them tugging at my shoulder to come and join in the celebrations 
            Em             B7sus/E          Em              B7sus/E     
To mark the triumph of the Emperor, the all-conquering ever-lasting summer 
        Bm                           A6/9                 Bm            A6/9 
And the streets were awash with the blood of the innocents, sacrificed to slaughter     
    Bm                  A6/9                   Bm              A6/9 
The crowds all drunk on power and madness as the noise grew ever louder 
            Bm                    A6/9          Bm                 A6/9 
And I could hear the knives being sharpened and I wished that it was over 
             B5                     Bsus4/A                  
Bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind 
             B5                     Bsus4/A                  
Bring me the snowfall, bring me the winter

    Let all the sins of the past be buried in the frozen ground 
                    Asus2           E5 
Let the last of the vengeance fires die 
               Asus2                          G 
The back wings flying high above the skeleton trees 
    Asus2          Em    Em7 
Disappear into the white

           Bm             A6/9        Bm             A6/9 
So let the weary land be rested and the killing season over 
        Bm                 A6/9      Bm                 A6/9 
Let the shadows stretch forever in the light of burnished silver 
      B5              Bsus4/A            Bm              Bsus4/A 
For I fear the age of consequence and I wish that it was over

Bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind

Bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind, bring me the winter
