Key: Am
Am
Autumn raised her dying head
F
And to her frightened troops she said
E E7 Am
"Don't mourn for me but save your strength for winter
Am
And if by chance you should survive
F
And if by Spring you're still alive
E E7 Am
Remember me, remember how we struggled"
Dm
Her tattered army broke and ran
C C/B Am
A darkness fell upon the land
F E E7 Am
Silently we bowed beneath the snowfall
F E E7 Am

Winter came to claim her throne
She turned the heart of Earth to stone
Not one of us dared raise his voice against her
Winter's reign was long and cruel
But we grew hard each day she ruled
Each frozen night seemed to last forever
She grew barren in her ancient age
And bitter in her twisted rage
Too blind to see the seeds of revolution
Underground the rebels schemed
In secret all our children dreamed
Patiently we waited for our moment
When at last the time was right
We rose up from the dead of night
And with the light of day we defied her
Her screaming voice howled and cracked
But nothing now could turn us back
And with the Spring Winter was defeated
Free at last the Earth rejoiced
Everywhere we heard the voice
Of Freedom ringing out across the land
How we toiled with Spring's first rush
But with the Summer we grew lush
And lazy in the warmth of the season
It's all too easy to forget
Winter's touch as cold as Death
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
It's all too easy to forget
Winter's touch as cold as Death
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
F E E7 Am
