Hold your head up high-for there is no greater love
Think of the faces of the people you defend
And promise me, they will never see the tears within our eyes
Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry

So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
Discard regret, that in this debt
A better world is made
That children of a newer day might remember
And avoid our fate
And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
You've asked me for my sacrifice
And I am Winter born

I hear the angels call my name
And I am Winter born

A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment..
I will not run
It is my place to stand
For I am Winter born

My little Christmas mouse, Tamas, wishing everyone a happy holidays...in his own, special way.

I know the shading on this picture blows, but please bear with me. I have my Photoshop working again and I've spent most of the day today re-teaching myself how to use it. It's been a pain in the arse--especially with my mouse working like crap and my tablet not being installed on this computer yet. But, either way, you get the idea.
