Raise A Glass

This is one's for you
From the back of beyond
Where the blind winds of rage
Tear at your tongues
While the sirens sing out
'Til the harbinger comes
For all the faces that fell by the way

And this one's for her
Been told she's no good
Accursed by sorrow
Ever since she set foot on this earth
Well to hell, with what they said you can't nor could
You best fly bird there's a prince on your tail

Winter comes
With a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise your glass to these years while they're ours

This one's for him
Beneath the footsteps of kings
Where the curtsying queens
Hold knives in their teeth
And the crackin' of minds
Besides the digging of graves
Burn the memory of a youth coldly stolen

This one's for us
Sat spittin' and hung
Love long forgotten
In webs so well spun
That choke the songs we sing
So when alls said and done
Shit's the same as it always has been

Winter comes
With a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise a glass to the dark and the dawn

And this one's for the child
Alone and afraid
A voice never heard
A policy made with no care
For the heart
In the body that shakes
From the force of these lashes in our hands

This one's for those
That weren't meant to stay
The heart you all shared
The love that remains with us here
Under the crush
Of the great infinite
While we all wait for the stars to appear

Winter comes
With a fire and a fury unknown
In the shallows
Raise a glass to old friends gone beyond now
Under the crush
Of the great infinite
Raise your glass
While we wait for the stars to appear
