LYRICS

in the late winter mist, dark shadows rising as the fog lifts
i see the dinosaurs with their cold steel jaws
sound the alarm! sound the alarm! they're coming in

among the silent oaks a ragged army of free hearted folk
stand against you armed only with what is true
your power is obsolete no more of you need come through

traitors! how dare you come here to break this place?
you'll die alone with your empty eyes
your kids will leave you as you left them with the end of times

Winter Mist - To The Lost

 A tribute to Steve Swann (RIP The Dub Warrior)

 Loving, loyal, strong, brave our true warrior. Friend, lover, father, brother and a damn good bloody bass player. extraordinary singer his voice could move the hardest of hearts, could make you cry or make you stand up and fight. A great song writer and all round musician. Words don't seem to convey the totality which we came to love. Swanny you will be missed! forever in our hearts...
