Winter's Gate, Pt. 1 Lyrics - Insomnium

The hoar sea enfolds us 

The scent of the coming winter 

Hear the howl of the wind 

A song from the ocean's womb 

Far away behind us 

Black smoke still rises high 

Houses of the southern god 

Broken under the iron hooves 

The time of slaughter moon 

Sunless, Stareless ways 

Sailing to world's end 

To meet our crown or doom 

The time of slaughter moon 

The season of the mist 

We're faring in the dark 

Sinking into cold night 

The grim sea unfolds us 

The scent of the burning temples 

Hear the wail of the waves 

A song from the hidden deep 

Far away from homely shores 

And winter is on our tail 

Driven by hunger and greed 

Swallowed soon by the great worm
