I Am Winterborn

Dry your eyes, and quietly bear this pain with pride.
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave.
And promise me: they will never see, the fear within our eyes.
We will give strength to those who still remain.

So bury fear, for fate draws near, and hide the signs of pain.
With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains.
Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made.
That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light:
You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winterborn.
Without denying, a faith is come that I have never known:
I hear the angels call my name and I am Winterborn

Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
Although we are men with mortal sins, angels never cry

So bury fear for fate draws near and hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt a better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember, and avoid our fate.

And in the fury of this darkest hour we will be your light:
You've asked me for my sacrifice and I am Winterborn
Without denying, a faith in God that I have never known:
I hear the angels call my name and I am Winterborn.

And in the fury of this darkest hour,
I will be your light:
A lifetime for this destiny,
For I am Winterborn.
And in this moment...
I will not run, it is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope,
Within our bloodied hands.

And in our Dying,
We're more alive than we have ever been.
I've lived for these few seconds:
For I am Winterborn.

And in the fury of this darkest hour,
We will be the light:
You've asked me for my sacrifice,
And I am Winterborn.
Without denying, a faith in man
That I have never known:
I hear the angels call my name,
And I am Winterborn.

Within this moment now,
I am for you, though better men have failed.
I will give my life for Love:
For I am Winterborn.

And in my dying I'm more alive, than I have ever been:
I will make this sacrifice for I am Winterborn.
