Текст песни: First Light of Winter + перевод

I’ve been traveling

Down a dark road,

Going places

That no one knows.

Now I’m reveling

Across the Basin

Trying to get back,

But no one’s waiting.

Brace yourself

For the first light of winter.

Grab the line

Before you hit the bottom.

There’s a hunger

That’s deep inside.

It’s got the light,

It won’t apologize.

It’s a wild beast

That has a grin,

And it won’t let go.

I’ve made peace with it.

Brace yourself

For the first light of winter.

Grab the line

Before you hit the bottom.

When the storm arrives,

It’s got a crazy eye.

It has no mercy

Until it dies.

Now I’m heading north

To Baton Rouge,

Where the ground is dry,

And the sky is blue.

Brace yourself

For the first light of winter.

Grab the line

Before you hit the bottom.

And the levee’s holding fast.

They said it would last

They promised.

Sanding in your darkened bed

Beneath the swell

Looking for solace.

But you had been down so long

You knew it was wrong,

You felt helpless.

And as the pressure starts to rise,

It’s a matter of time

You arrive,

At the bottom.

Feeling bad,

Feeling better.

Gonna stop.

Write a letter

To the government,

Powers that be,

I’ve been fighting wars

In the name of peace.

Brace yourself

For the first light of winter.

Grab the line

Before you hit the bottom.

And the levee’s holding fast.

They said it would last

They promised.

But you had been down so long,

The pressure was strong

'Til you release it.

As your spirits start to rise,

Make your way toward the light

At the surface.

And now you’re coming up for air,

The coast it is clear,

You will survive this,

Now you’re lawless,

Now you’re fearless.
