I see it flying high upon the evening skies

The wings as dark as night, a demon in disguise

Already now, before it reaches us down hereIt fills our worried hearts with fear

Whoever hungers won′t see many days to come

Whoever has no roof won't be with us for long

Bring in the last few crops that wither in the fields

Before the frost, we count our meals

Watch out, winter is coming

Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls

Watch out, winter is coming

Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose

Winter is coming close

Some only know it by the tales the elders told

The blooming years already vanished with the cold

The nights grow longer and hold terrors for the young

And death will sing the winter song

Watch out, winter is coming

Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls

Watch out, winter is coming

Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose

Who knows what follows with the ever endless night

Spare us in these days from the curse of winters blight

Watch out, winter is coming

Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls

Winter is coming close

Watch out, winter is coming

Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls

Watch out, winter is coming

Watch as the ice starves the wilting autumn rose

Who knows what follows with the ever endless night

Spare us in these days from the curse of winters blight

Watch out, winter is coming

Pray to the mother for mercy on our souls

Winter is coming close
