I just heard a beautiful song called "Winter's Own" by Findask. Does anyone have the lyrics. It's funny, but I also like "Our Time Will Arise," which I was informed by a fellow 'Catter that it was Findask, and here I am looking for more of their music. I really have to find one of their albums. Their music really speaks to me!

WINTER'S OWN
Lyrics copyright by Bill Lindsay
Sung by Bill Lindsay and Stuart Campbell (Findask)

Winter cracks
The crunching underfoot
Freezes every root
The swirling cold
Stiff and silent
Shaking every branch
Beauty.
Fearsome and fatal

Chilling waves
Are breathing with a thirst
Insatiate wanderlust
A whistling wind
Always searching
Crossing on the wilderness
Beauty.
Fearsome and fatal

Standing below now
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winters own
Standing below now
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winters own

Biting back
A seething blazing sleet
A piercing smoking heat
A bitter raw
Cutting shivers
Deep into the bone
Beauty fearsome and fatal

Flaming angry heavens
Kiss the frost
Another climber lost
Beneath the snow
Fingers feeling
Finely for the ground
Beauty
Fearsome and fatal

Standing below now
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winters own

Rays of sun
Will creep beneath your coat
To ridicule and gloat
The stiffened skin
Naked
Fragile
Licking every inch
Beauty
Fearsome and fatal

Standing below now
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winters own
Standing below now
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winters own
