Born in Winter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Before all things reborn again
You learn the painful breath of time

Cold morning stretches out your arms
To the mighty warmth of one golden sun

Seems all have gone insane for gold
All was created out of the night

We're all born from the burst of a star

[Chorus]
The day you'll come to life you'll realize
Expanding force of life where you belong
And in the winter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright


[Chorus]
One day you'll walk the world and keep in mind
The heart you've been given in winter time
And through the bitter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright

Genius Annotation

“The lyrics of Born in Winter evoke a sense of longing and transformation. The song reflects on the cyclical nature of existence and the constant evolution of life. It speaks to the human experience of facing challenges and embracing change to grow and evolve as individuals. The lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own lives, encouraging them to confront their fears and emerge stronger.”
- Warren Barrett

The backbone of Born in Winter is a two string guitar tapping riff switching between 12/8 and 8/8 time signatures, with Joe Duplantier monotonously speaking his lyrics, eventually climaxing with a distorted 8/8 riff and Duplantier’s signature screams.
