{Verse 1} Impatience teaches you what’s right In time to amputate, to fight But too late to find the means To quell the stirring of your dreams {Verse 2} Horizon lies, horizon waits No disappearing pearly gates Relentless and forever sly It jabs you sharply in the eye {Chorus} It lies in wait for its own sake The endless winter Time undone, no other state The endless winter It waits to face you on the bridge The еndless winter To paint a portrait of your sin The еndless winter {Verse 3} Distorted thoughts, haphazard meals No present time, no future deals Disused damage, misused lock Shattered branches, broken stalk
{Verse 4} Take your cupboards, take your shelves Fill them up with your own Hell Stack your papers, file your forms Walk your carpets, leave them worn {Chorus} It lies in wait for its own sake The endless winter Time undone, no other state The endless winter It waits to face you on the bridge The endless winter To paint a portrait of your sin The endless winter A thousand pigs are at your trough The endless winter A thousand days are not enough The endless winter To save you from your disrepute The endless winter To cut your tongue and leave you mute The endless winter
