Градацията е потресаваща:

 

"The cold outside lays waste to life,
Suspends the process of decay;
Alone, without a friend, suffer as night 
Becomes the death of day!

 

Winter...

This is the season of the fire, 
This is when the Reaper crawls;
Feed the flames, and make them higher,
No sanctuary behind four walls!

 

Winter...

Red sky at night, the Shepherd's delight, 
But nothing left by the morning;
In the town they feel safe fools, like 
Flies their friends are falling.

 

Winter... 

Wrap up warm, you'll catch your death,
Don't let your death catch you;
The winter tears the earth apart, let's 
Hope we see it through!

Winter..."
