artificial winter

shades of gray coldness from inside

snowed in without a shovel or plow

rhetoric on the radio 'don't you go outside'

i shiver in the dark coldness all around

hide behind my jacket listen to the cold facts of lies

because we will we will burn

we will we will burn for the winter

a man pulls off his glove

to take a look at the time

from beneath the watch

sweat starts to flow

a father cries out into the night

as his child slips away

a door shuts as the boy reaches that forbidden room

and the shades of gray

getting lighter and lighter

and the shades of gray getting lighter and lighter

because we will we will burn oh

we will we will burn for the winter
