Winter Fell | Dark Rock

This track is a blues rock re-interpretation of my recent metal song "Winter Fell". https://soundcloud.com/senior-barends/winter-fell Lyrics © Señor Barends When the winter fell… it wasn’t weather… it was entry… Something moved without a sound Crawled up from beneath The air went thick with something That didn’t need to breathe It’s already in When the winter fell The night before it spoke The lights did not die They turned away Like something never woke Something slipped out of line Not ground, but what I held The way I sorted what was real Shifted out of reach What had no way to exist Still found a way through There was no breach, no door to break It made a place in you A warning had been given But language couldn’t keep it A voice broke into pieces No one dared repeat it You heard it, didn’t hold it You filtered what you could see You let the rest sit quiet Now it speaks through me You kept it closed, it learned to bite Fed on what you tried to hide No crack, no sign, no break in line It wore your shape when it arrived Buried where you thought was safe You gave it time, you gave it space No signal sent, no warning flare Too close now, it's already there A prophet long forgotten Cut visions into stone Every thought I called my own Was planted, overgrown The rule was keep it clean But clean begins to rot You scrub the surface raw While it adapts to what you are You cut to stop the spread You cut until it thins But it don’t live in flesh or blood It starts the moment you look in What if that’s the gate What if depth’s the door What if every step inside Just lets it take some more Find what stops it Find what... There is no cure There never was You opened inward You let it take hold You called it healing I call it proof There was no entry No outside force You made the space It filled the source You kept it closed, it learned to bite You fed it shape, you fed it sight No breach, no edge, no line to cross It grew where you defined the cost You traced the edge, you called it safe You carved the door, it took the place No warning left, no time to drop Too late now, there is no stop When the winter fell… it never left…
