Lyrics:

I've been travelin', down a dark road
'Goin' places that no one knows
Now I'm ramblin' across the basin
Tryin' to get back, but no one's waitin'

Brace yourself for the First Light of Winter
Grab the line before you hit the bottom

There's a hunger, that's deep inside
It's not polite; it won't apologize
It's a wild beast that has its grip
And it won't let go; make peace with it

Brace yourself for the First Light of Winter
Grab the line before you hit the bottom

When the storm arrives, it's gotta' crazy eye
It has no mercy until it dies
Now I'm headin' north to Baton Rouge
Where the ground is dry, and the sky is blue

Brace yourself for the First Light of Winter
Grab the line before you hit the bottom...

And the levee's holding fast, they said it would last they promised
Descending in your diving bell beneath the swell looking for solace
But you had been down too long, you knew it was wrong but you felt helpless
As the pressure starts to rise, it's a matter of time, you arrive...
At the bottom

Feelin' bad, feelin' better
Gonna' stop, write a letter
To the government, the powers that be
I've been fightin' wars, in the name of peace

Brace yourself in the first light of winter
Grab the line before you hit the bottom...

And the levee's holding fast, they said it would last they promised
But you had been down so long, the pressure was strong, till you release it
As your spirits start to rise make your way toward the light at the surface
Now your comin' up for air the coast is clear
You would survive this; now you're lawless; now you're fearless
