Winter is coming
I see birds flying south
I'm saying something
I got words in my mouth

I spoke to nothing
And nothing replied
"Me being something
Isn't something I've tried"

Don't be afraid of this life
Don't be afraid of this life

Out in the forest
Out of my mind
Another melodist
Trying hard to unwind

Old Dionysus
Is in deadly decline
The poor people can't afford
A bottle o' wine

Don't be afraid of this life
Don't be afraid of this life
Don't be afraid of this endless arcade that is life

Don't be afraid of this life
Don't be afraid of this life
Don't be afraid
Of the truth you mislaid
Of the dreams you delayed
Of the price that you paid
Of the love you displayed
Of this endless arcade that is life
