Winter Winds Sing
The Black League Lyrics

For so very long it has been so very, very cold
The world has been surrounded by darkness and coldness for a long time

Right here where I am, For so far is the time...
The singer has been living in darkness for so long and it feels like an eternity

When you came and brought peace to this chaos inside
The arrival of someone special brought peace to the chaos inside the singer's heart

You know I have felt you deep in my blood and in my veins
The presence of this person is strongly felt by the artist

Yes, you. The most beautiful thing,
This person is the most beautiful thing the artist has ever seen or experienced

that this ugly, dirty world had ever seen.
This world is ugly and dirty, but this person shines brightly in contrast

Well, I've seen. And I sing to thee:
The singer wants to express their gratitude and praise to this person through song

And all the land, all the seas, All the landscape will freeze
The arrival of winter is a metaphor for the artist's world freezing over without this person in it

Say goodbye to the angels in your heart!
This is a warning to the listener to let go of any cherished memories associated with this person, so they can truly move on with their life

And all the woods and the beasts, all the life forms seace being
Without this person, nature itself seems to be dying

When you cry winter winds sing straight to my heart...
The singer feels the entire world shifts and changes when this person is feeling sad or upset

You, my light in the dusk, in the twilight fading time
This person is the artist's guiding light even in the darkest moments

You have been shining so dim
This person is not as present or bright anymore, which makes the singer feel like something has been lost

Through the season all the howling and gashing of teeth
The reference to the Bible shows the singer sees this loss as a personal suffering, akin to Biblical suffering

You, my light in the dead of the night
The singer considers this person the light that keeps them going through the deepest and loneliest moments

I pray to all gods just to be by your side
The artist would do anything to be with this person and have their light back in their life

Can't you see you are the air I breathe,
This person is the most important thing to the artist, their very reason to live

You are the blood I bleed...
This person is so intertwined with the singer's being that they feel essential to their physical existence

Well, I bleed. And I sing to thee:
The singer expresses their love and devotion to this person through song once again

And all the stars and the moo,
The starry sky and the moon, symbols of beauty and natural wonder, are affected by the loss of this person

And the great ol' one up high in the sky will die too
The person this song is about seems to have such importance that even deities would be affected by their loss

No-no-no-no!... No-no-no-no!... No-no-no-no!... No-no-no-no!...
These lines express the artist's despair and disbelief at the idea of losing this person, as if they would rather not face it at all
