In dark and endless nights

Fire's giving gloomy light

In the great hall we sit together

While outside the stormclouds gather

An oaken table,mighty walls

The glory circle in these halls

Listen to songs of forgotten aeons

The story of the nightmare demon



When we are gathered in the hall

They tell a wintertale

Of a time that is gone

They are singing their song



From a distance, some faint light

Coming closer, like ghosts in the night

It's a courier, and what he brings

From the darkness, are bad tidings

The evil demon, back from the dead

Darker than ever, again he spreads

Gaining force to, retaliate

Was our fight, to no avail



When we are gathered in the hall

They tell a wintertale

Of a time that is gone

They are singing their song



Hope is weakened, (our) pride is gone

It's all in vain, and nothing?s won

Fear is rising, the tide has turned

The golden future, is all burned

Feeling bitter, and crestfallen

My way home now, is stolen

Without mercy, and all our might

No surrender, we?ll take the fight



When we are gathered in the hall

They tell a wintertale

We will fight till it's won

Till the last man is gone
