[Intro] The fire fades to embers low The winter winds begin to blow [Verse 1] Lay down your shield upon the stone The longest day has finally flown Your silver hair is stained with red Rest now your weary, aching head [Chorus] Sleep now beneath the northern light The stars will guard you through the night The iron cold begins to cease Find your path to silent peace [Verse 2] The castle walls are torn and grey The smoke of battle drifts away The ravens watch from heights above As you return to those you love [Chorus] Sleep now beneath the northern light The stars will guard you through the night The iron cold begins to cease Find your path to silent peace [Bridge] No more drums and no more cries Close your tired, frozen eyes Let the river take the pain Until the sun returns again [Solo] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus] Sleep now beneath the northern light The stars will guard you through the night The iron cold begins to cease Find your path to silent peace [Outro] The mountain dreams in white and gold The warrior's tale is finally told
