about

Inspired by Mongolian Folklore

Music & lyrics: Hlynur Júní Hallgrímsson

lyrics

We were strong when we were together / We travelled lightly in groups of three / But with each sunrise, so did our tears dry / Morning had broken for you and me / But cold winter nights are coming / Cold winter nights are coming / Cold winter nights are coming / I hope to make it through to the other side / I hope to make it through to the morning light / I hope that, at least, I’m with you when our worlds collide / I hope to make it through to the other side / After high tide soon rivers ran dry / What would become of the sons of man? / And during long nights we saw the flames rise / We heard their screams come from Tian Shan / I hope to make it through to the other side / I hope to make it through to the morning light / I hope that, at least, I’m with you when our worlds collide / I hope to make it through to the other side / But cold winter nights are coming / Cold winter nights are coming / Cold winter nights are coming//
