dead end turns life it burns
we all fade away where we go
what we feel who can really say
those we leave behind face it every day
and so it turns

mothers cry brothers sigh
sisters play the game
fathers cheek eyes that weep
tears in the rain
the sun still shines heavy with pain
and so it turns

time will come heavy for some
in the ground we go
sobs of the broken medals as a token
rivers of war still flow
darkness falls the piper calls
so it turns
so it turns

there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses
melting on our skin
there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses

clouds roll in facing my sin
reaper shows his wares
a reel of life trouble and strife
all the love we shared
born alive ready to die
so it turns
so it turns

there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses
melting on our skin
there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses

ebbs and flows
so it goes
unto the breech we leap
this world of ours
super powers
weapons that they keep
they don't do what they say
say what they mean
this cost of life's too steep
so it turns
so it turns

there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses
melting on our skin
there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses
melting on our skin
there's winter in our souls
that whispers in the wind
of snowflakes dropping cold kisses
