lyrics

Purple dawns that take you to the other
Smiles break the sorrows of the day
Emerald grass can make you think of summer
Of a time that you never thought could fade

And do not act as though you didn't know how to fight
As though not trained from youth in the art of war
And do not act as though you didn't know how to love
The faintest star of winter could've shown you the door

And you lost her with the coming of the wintertime
The shadow king upon his iron throne
When you rested by the linden tree in brighter times
Do not tell me all those things you didn't know

And do not act as though you didn't know how to fight
As though not trained from youth in the art of war
And do not act as though you didn't know how to love
The faintest star of winter could've shown you the door

When kingdoms lie in ruin you'll remember
When voices turn to silence then you'll see
I did not ask for kingdoms or for answers
I asked you for an ounce of honesty

And do not act as though you didn't know how to fight
As though not trained from youth in the art of war
And do not act as though you didn't know how to love
The faintest star of winter could've shown you the door
