[Intro]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true love's pyre
Who will bring a light to stoke the fire?
Fear not for you're still breathing
[Chorus]
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
[Verse 2]
Hear the cry for new life, the mourning's flame
You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain
Who will bring you back from where there's no return?
Fear not for you're just dreaming
[Bridge]
Oh
Oh
Oh mmm
[Chorus]
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
[Outro]
On a windless day
On a windless day
Ah
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true love's pyre
Who will bring a light to stoke the fire?
Fear not for you're still breathing
[Chorus]
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
[Verse 2]
Hear the cry for new life, the mourning's flame
You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain
Who will bring you back from where there's no return?
Fear not for you're just dreaming
[Bridge]
Oh
Oh
Oh mmm
[Chorus]
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
[Outro]
On a windless day
On a windless day
Ah
