The Winter is killer, causing my blood to run cold

Just like the icicles, I can feel crystallize in my soul

I find the numbness a comfort because it′s all that I knowIf one description could fit me it'd be abominable

When I lost my fire, the fever to follow was awfully fierce

Freezing my arctic heart in an armored locker

Not even arson could pierce

I got a disease operating like a machine

But forgot for what was I geared?

I became a robot when the cold dropped Sub-Zero

Arteries shot full of serum as I′m

Tossed into the ring not one applaud or a cheer

Probably 'cause no audience wanted to watch me faced off with a mirror

I had to weaponize Edward Hyde whenever my Doctor

Jekyll would not volunteer

Putting me on both sides of the conflict

Either way, all of us profit tears

Not every hero keeps so clean cut

No cap I'm better off with a beard

Stark is the contrast in between us

Here comes a trigger warning cover your ears

Lookin′ like a storm on the forecast

Not sure that′s really what I wanted to hear

With a Civil War on my doorstep

It's a little late for any Paul to Revere, hollerin′

Winter isn't coming, Winter is already here

The weather from which I′ve been running is nigh

The sky no longer so clear

My past caught up with me

Knocked me off of the wagon onto my rear

How can I trust the function of my compass

When it was corrupted with fear?

What have I lost?

Nothing but years, what did it cost?

All that was dear

Which I thought would've thawed my conscience

It did not, it just disappeared

Like a wolf running from his hunger

When another more cunning hunter is near

′Cause a bark and a bite will not win a fight

If you're not holdin' onto a spear

Which one am I becomin′?

I caught the cold, because

The Winter′s been so long

I got no spark left in my lighter

Now I feel nothing

But I need something to guide me back to the fire

'Cause if a man can′t change his stars

He can damn sure change his stripes

When nightfall paints the world all black and white

Bring the fire back to life (to life, to life, to life)

Sleeper agent, reawaken

When his peaceful dream is shaken

Free of reason, fleeting patience

Seething anger, feeding hatred

Seekin' to find the wrong in the right

Sweepin′ the leg is part of the fight

I've become a hostage of the monster inside me

I′m just along for the ride

Thought I was dead?

Forgotten behind?

Fallen left in the gutter to die?

Dropped my guard and I got disarmed

Southpaw now but I'll knock out your lights

Take off my face put on a disguise

I don't wear capes I′m wanted for crimes

You do this all day? I run it all night

Gone is the Winter, but not in my mind

Split in half, which half is talking?

I could be set off any second, watch it

Shatter your defenses

Shed that shield you brought

Or get sent back home on it

Matters not if I happen to want it

I′m on this path and I have to walk it

Navigating while divided pilots

Fight to drive my mental cockpit

It's an unholy road ahead

But I′m already damned, I've broken bread

With both of the devils on my shoulders

Growing heavy with the sins I won′t confess

So sever regret it's said and done

But remember to dread what′s yet to come

Forever the steps I take

Will set the pace that my amends are meant to run

Better protect your wings

I was left with none when I flew too high

And they met the sun

Fell from Cloud Nine into Hell's Ninth Circle

A permanent resident I've become

Another one of them fallen angels

All of our halos broken

We share despair

Spare your prayers

God ain′t savin′ no one

The soulless soldier has only

Been shown the coldest shoulders

I'll go unthanked for my service

I′m takin' no more orders

Had enough of playin′ dead

Now rover's sick of rollin′ over

Still some tricks to be taught

Even if the god is older

The Winter's been so long

I got no spark left in my lighter

Now I feel nothing

But I need something to guide me back to the fire

'Cause if a man can′t change his stars

He can damn sure change his stripes

When nightfall paints the world all black and white

Bring the fire back to life

Two wolves are battling inside us all

So who will answer when the wild calls?

The one you feed won′t need a fire while

The one denied is hungrier becoming a survivor

Crying fuck it all wanna see my dirty laundry aired out?

Nothing left to hide might as well let my hair down

The match is set yet there's nothing to strike

I guess the past is all I got left to light (got left to light)

The Winter′s been so long

I got no spark left in my lighter

Now I feel nothing

But I need something to guide me back to the fire

'Cause if a man can′t change his stars

He can damn sure change his stripes

When nightfall paints the world all black and white

Bring the fire back to life (to life, to life)

When nightfall paints the world all black and white

Man can't change his stars

And I know he can change his stripes

Might change his stripes
