And it sure been a cold, cold winter
and the wind ain't been blowin' from the south.
It's sure been a cold, cold winter
and a lotta love is all burned out.
It sure been a hard, hard winter,
my feet been draggin' 'cross the ground.
And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer,
and a lotta love will be burnin' bright.
And I wish I been out in California
when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out.
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,
and the restoration plays have all gone 'round.
It sure been a cold, cold winter,
my feet been draggin' 'cross the ground.
And the fields has all been brown and fallow,
and the springtime take a long way around.
Yeah, and I wish I been out in Stone Canyon
when the lights on all the Christmas trees went out.
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle,
and the restoration plays have all gone 'round.
Sometimes I think about you, baby,
Sometimes I cry about you.
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,
Sometimes I wanna keep you warm.
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you,
Sometimes I wanna but I can't afford you.
It's cold and it's getting cold - er
it's gray and white and winter all around.
And oh, I must be getting old - er
and all this snow is try'n' to get me down
There's a fire in the corner slowly dying
sometimes I just don't feel like goin' on
And yet I know it's more than worth the waiting
for another chance to see the summer sun
Come on shine on me
There's a fire in the corner slowly dying
sometimes I just don't feel like goin' on
And yet I know it's more than worth the waiting
for another chance to see the summer sun
Come on shine on me
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
And it sure been a cold, cold winter

Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
But I only can see the myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change
And so forever
Always end sometime
Now I’m alone below the cold of a painted sky
Remembering a love that became a lie
Knowing I can’t scream
I can only cry
Forever
And so love goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it had never been
I lift my hand and wipe the tears
The tears…
I just can’t go on
Now my love has gone away
My imaginary world is fading fast
The dreams I dreamed could never last
I left my innocence in the past
With my broken heart
And so love goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it had never been
I lift my hand and wipe the tears
The tears…
I just can’t go on
Now my love has gone away
And so love goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it had never been
I lift my hand and wipe the tears
The tears…
I just can’t go on
Now my love has gone
I just can’t go on
Got no silver in my pockets
Got no pillow for my head
And the winter it gets stronger
Got to ease my aching head
In the morning when I wake up
Get this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I'll die young
Or I'll go out of my mind
I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
It still sends my senses reeling
Knowing winter's come to town

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think about winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
'You must learn to stand up for yourself
cause I can't always be around.'
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, change my dear
Never change
Music and words by Tolkki
Silence is all I hear
Blackness fills my world
Midwinter days and lonely nights
Depression takes over
my frozen mind
Morning starts a new day
Dawning nowhere to be seen
Oh, won't you break
my chains and let me go
free as a bird in the sky
Winter blows colder
I'm growing older
Visions of darkness
breaking the silence
Winter blows colder
I'm feeling older
Light fades away
I'm here to stay
I'm telling you no-one could ever take your place
The summer was out of sight
We couldn't sleep at night
Shadows were closing in
Back in the dark again
Basement we didn't own
Cut off the telephone
Ceiling was falling down
Winter was underground
There are worlds
We can find
A hidden place
Is in our mind
Place where the water falls
Nobody ever calls
Sky is forever clear
Road never made it here
Forests are deep and green
Like nothing we've ever seen
Heavens revolving sin
Seasons change everything
There are worlds
We can find
A hidden place
Is in our mind
There are worlds
We can find
A hidden place
Is in our mind
There are worlds
We can find
A hidden place
When Winter falls
Next year, I'll be holding on
To anything nailed down
As for being patient, with fate and all, it's getting old.
And my mind is slowly changing
I'm calling all my oldest friends,
Saying "sorry for this mess we're in,"
And I'm waiting, waiting
For the Sun to come and melt this snow,
wash away the pain, and give me back control, control.
An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.
Should we still set his plate?
Should we still save his chair?
Should we still buy him gifts?
And if we don't, did we not care?
It makes you think about the life you've led,
Shit you've done, things you've said.
And it's grounding, grounding.
I've been feeling three feet tall this month,
hardly indestructible.
But the snow melts, and the rhythm still goes on.
An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.
Friends stay side by side,
In life and death you've always stole my heart,
You'll always mean so much to me, it's hard to believe this
These nights in vans,
These nights in bars,
Don't mean a thing with empty hearts, with empty hearts.
An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.
Friends stay side by side,
In life and death you've always stole my heart,
You've always meant so much to me, it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe
Enchanted by the burning skies
We rise
Captured in the haze
Of the funeral pyre
Winter
We drink to death from endelss wells
A challenge for the ancient gods
Condemnation, a black celebration
Winter of the moribund
Embraced by darkness
We dance
A feast for the fallen
Raptured the chant of death
How do you talk again
I forgot
Like sand in naked flame
Oh yeah!
Like winter coming
Not a fighter
You have to fight
The harsh blows dealt you in your short life
So lonely
Hold me
'Til sunrise
Snow geography
I'm catching on
Winter wears high heels
Oh yeah!
And the light is dazzling
Not a liar
You have to lie 'cause shadows haunt you
In your headlights
So lonely
Hold me
'Til sunrise
And breaking save me
You're crying but as long as it's transparent and not red
There's no real reason to be sad to the people who are
Smiling, always happy, always gay they do not know
That the edges of the mouth can move the other way
You're freezing, the ice on which you nearly slipped outside
Is in your body, in your mind, getting warmer you are
Dreaming, quite useless but it feels okay to you
In a world that's dreaming too, in a world in which you
Keep on searching for a thing sublime
When all you need is inside of you
Everybody's waiting for springtime
Well winter can be cozy too
Cherish the moment, cherish the key
That leads to sane insanity
Cherish incompetence, cherish me
Don't ever cherish somebody who
Keeps on searching for a thing sublime
When all you need is inside of you
Everybody's waiting for springtime
How does my sorrow find me here?
I have lived
I have loved
Enough for all my time
And how stealthily
You come to me
I have loved
I have lost
Now all that remains
Is which one to
Champion
(My)
Soul?...
(From you I hide, by and by)
(From you I hide, by and by)
So how does my sorrow find me now?
Am I changed?
coming out of the dark
the beast, it rears its head
walking onto the soft white, its lunar quest begins
an invasion of truth
to walk the land alone
stepping out of the moral slide
instinct is now its home
and its on, its on
the man is now the wolf
and i have changed form to live as winters evening birth
stepping into the cold
as gore drips from my fangs
walking into the moonlight, onto the snowy plains
i have waited so long to feel this alive
I'D LIKE TO SLEEP ONE HUNDRED DAYS
MY FEELING HAS GONE, FLESH COLD AND NUMB
I'M STARING INTO WINTER
ALL'S SLOWING DOWN, SNOW IN THE WHEELS
FROST ON THE GROUND, ICE CUTS THE SEAL
THAT OPENS UP OLD WOUNDS
THAT LETS IN THE WINTER
MEMORIES AND HOPES ARE ALL THAT I HAVE
BUT ARE THEY ALL I NEED, WILL THEY SEE ME
THROUGH THIS WINTER?
I'D LIKE TO SLEEP ONE HUNDRED DAYS
MY REASON HAS GONE, FLESH COLD AND NUMB
Instrumental
Can you hear the wind gnawing the mountains?
In the ice castles of winter it howls alone.
The frost now unleashed soon shall us reach.
The iron gates are opening, 'tis the time for death.
....when autumn turns to winter.
Coldness knows no mercy,
the frost does not stand aside... ever!
Can you feel the icy crust piercing through your skin,
burning you deep inside?
Quit staring at the light and encounter the frost
that shall lay waste the tender sky.
....when the winter eternal arrives.
Coldness knows no mercy,
the frost does not stand aside... ever!
All warmth is vanishing, the winter's drawing nigh,
green is enshrouded by white.
In the northern courts there's an eternal crust of snow,
no summer you shall ever see, only a sky ran pale.
The eternal flame is blown out by a breeze so cold;
the winter is unmerciful in the courts of the north.
The icy glitter in the forests soon puts the weak to death,
in the heart of the winter's stronghold our time has finally come!
The hunger of the frost is growing,
your heaven it enshrouds with fury.
Coldness knows no mercy,
the frost does not stand aside... ever!
Coldness knows no mercy,
the frost never stands aside!
Welcome the winter eternal,
green enshrouded by white.
All wings are cut and the resistance is broken.
None of the angels shall survive.
The sharp cutting frost is the victor
and snow shall veil the northern ground.
Leaves are turning pale, dying in lament
and the clouds are gathering to witness.
'tis tumult of demons in the heart of winter,
with no signs of exhaust they're dancing in the white halls.
At last it's the reign of the eternal winter,
a vain hope that it will end.
Hear me!
Children of the frost!
Hear me!
I should know
Who I am by now
I walk
The record stands somehow
Thinking of winter
Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out Winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait
I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still
I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
Spring Is Past - Winter's Coming On.
Summer's Dead - Winter's Coming On.
All Of My Hopes For The Future Now Are Gone.
All Of My Battle's Are Lost, For Time Has Won.
Where Is Hope - Winter's Coming On.
Here Is Fear - Winter's Coming On.
Look In The Mirror And All I See Is Time.
Stare At The Remnant Of Life That Once Was Mine.
Killed By Time.
What Is The Point Of Going On?
What Is The Point Of Going On?
And On, And On, And On?
Spring Is Past - Winter's Coming On.
Summer's Dead - Winter's Coming On.
Look In The Mirror And All I See Is Time.
Stare At The Remnant Of Life That Once Was Mine.
Killed By Time.
What Is The Point Of Going On?
What Is The Point Of Going On?
And On, And On, And On, And On.
What Is The Point Of Going On?
What Is The Point Of Going On?
Hey kid, I've been watching you.
Sleeping in the lilies with that old dull-bladed knife.
Still in those bulletproof pajamas you've worn all your
life.
But tonight you're in some murky bar,
The music's too loud, and you don't feel like dancing.
Not a familiar face in the room,
Just that little voice in the back of your head,
That's always been there, but tonight it says:
The days are getting shorter, the air is getting
colder,
And as you sip your rum and coke, kid,
You're just getting older.
You realize you're sweating, and the air around you
stinks,
You stumble to the bathroom,
Throw your head beneath the sink.
And as you raise your eyes, your lips release a little
groan,
'Cause the face that's grinning back at you,
Just isn't quite your own.
So you go back to your lily petals,
Pull those old pajamas tight,
But you can't shake this feeling
That your life is just a game of chess
Where ancient gods and devils fight.
People stagger by you,
Thick blood running down their faces,
While little jet-black serpents
Try to mate with your shoelaces.
An old blind dog's been at your heels,
With the overpowering stench of decay.
And an old friend sends a package.
The skull inside it seems to say:
I'm the face in every mirror, the shadow at your feet,
The little light that glows behind
Each pair of eyes that you meet.
You can hide inside your castle,
Spend years thinking you're free,
But I'm like ancient Rome, baby, all roads lead to me.
Okay kid, let me tell you a little story. See, I don't
get into town too often these days, but sometime soon
old Jack Frost's gonna blow back into the heart of the
big city.
And I'll scream until the buildings melt,
Then whisper 'til they freeze.
And I'll stand on an icy tower with every eye fixed on
And everyone will follow,
As I raise my left hand to the sky,
And together we'll peel back the fabric
Sometimes I feel like winter, cold I feel
Icicles are forming
It's hard to tell what is real
Cold winter, cold winter day
Frost is on the windshield and it's hard to see
Air is like slivers
It's hard to breathe
It's a cold winter, cold winter day
Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
'Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
'Cause when You are around I am found
Sometimes I feel like the prodigal, a wandering weary son
Gone in search of something beautiful
Something to make me one
It's a cold winter, cold winter day
The world is full of lies that will only rob you blind
Hit ya' when you are not looking
And steal away your time
It's a cold winter, cold winter day
And warm me up inside
Let Your face from me not hide
'Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
And when You are around I am found
Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
'Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
'Cause when You are around
'Cause when You are around
I can't even look at you
You make fun of me for crying.
Well I guess I do that a lot these days
But I'm risking everything I have
To love you
To be with you.
I open myself up and tell you all my deepest secrets
But I wonder if you ever hear them.
'Cause I really love you
And now I even like you.
But when you pulled away from me
That's a place I'd rather not be.
[Chorus:] So please forgive me
You beautiful man.
I know the good days
Were the best we ever had.
But when the dark side comes
And you bring in the cold.
Baby, that's just the winter
Where I can't go.
So you come to me
And you ask me to hold you.
And I did.
I shed every layer of my skin.
I let you in.
I saw beauty in the demons
And adventure in the stars.
And I let my imagination
Run way too far.
And I really love you
But I can't even reach you.
Infatuated with your face
'Til you go to that silent place.
[Chorus]
So you know how it is:
Things are perfect today.
Do our memories deceive us
Maybe we look the other way?
Oh, what's happening to me?
I'm supposed to be independent.
What's hapenning to me?
I said I would never settle in.
But I really love you
And I can't ever reach you.
Maybe we're not meant to be
'Cause I can't lose myself, you see.
So please forgive me
You beautiful man.
I know the good days
Were the best we ever had.
So please forgive me
You beautiful man.
I know it's not exactly
What you had planned.
When the dark side comes
And you bring in the cold

How did I ever get this broken?
I never meant to fall this far
I feel like I'm completely frozen
Can I find a way back to where You are?
Chorus:
'Cause I've been searching for the sun
But I don't know if anyone
Can tell me how to find my way home
All the things that I've become
Are all the things I'm running from
I don't want my heart to turn to stone
This cold has been so bitter
Can you save me from this winter?
It came creepin’ in so slowly,
And now it’s covered up the truth
In the name of being holy,
We got so far away from you
Chorus:
'Cause I’ve been searching for the sun
But I don't know if anyone
Can tell me how to find my way home
All the things that I've become
Are all the things I'm running from
I don't want my heart to turn to stone
This cold has so bitter
Can you save me from this winter?
Can you save me from this winter?
Can you save me from this winter?
Can you save me from this winter?
Can you save me from this winter?
Chorus:
'Cause I’ve been searching for the sun
But I don't know if anyone
Can tell me how to find my way home
All the things that I've become
Are all the things I'm running from
I don't want my heart to turn to stone...
Chorus:
'Cause I’ve been searching for the sun
But I don't know if anyone
Can tell me how to find my way home
All the things that I've become
Are all the things I'm running from
I don't want my heart to turn to stone
This cold has been so bitter
Can you save me from this winter?
This cold has been so bitter
I call forth the cold
The coming signs of winter
The coming signs of winter
Black hands raised to the sky
Silhouettes of trees with no more leaves
Growing on their long lean twigs
Soul mirrors showing me
A shadowed face
Waters – frozen and rugged, unmoved
Cloth, white, is falling
on the ground
Snow from the sky
Trying to hide
The face of the earth
Thousand daggers are piercing my skin
Winds from the north, alone in the skies
I call forth the cold
The coming signs of winter
I call forth the cold
The coming signs of winter
The coming signs of winter
Ravens seem to be the only
Life beside me – suddenly
They cover the sky to the horizon
Blood becomes ice
Flesh becomes rock
I call forth the cold
The coming signs of winter
Winter
I call forth the cold
The coming signs of winter
Winter
I call forth the cold
[Instrumental]
(Written by Bebel Gilberto, Didi Gutman, Marius de Vries)
I feel the snow
On my eyes
It touches me
Deep inside
And now I'm here
So high
A cloud
Up in the sky
And this has got me thinking
It's all because of you
My heart is dark
And my mouth so dry
Where were you
All this time?
My love is yours
You know
Every song I sing
Belongs to you
And as days like these
Come and go
I still remember
It's true
And this has got me thinking
It's all because of you
The night is dark and the moon so high
Where were you
All this time?
And as days like these
Pass me by
Through clouds or skies of blue
Then upon this heartbeat
I could fly
Just to sing this song for you
The cold cleanses my soul
And reveal to me
The harmony that long was lost
It sets my spirits free
At last I feel, I feel at ease
The winter cold just grants me peace
The bitter cold is here
Light dies, I hear you cry
A dismal life appear
I live while others die
Softly caressed by silence
And by the darkest night
I make my way through shadows
Into the dying light
The pain inside, it withers away
The silence is here, it leads me astray
In the cold dead winter
My mind is free
In the grip of silence
Life is burning in me
At last I feel, I feel at ease
The winter cold just grants me peace
The bitter cold is here
Light dies, I hear you cry
A dismal life appear
I live while others die
The cold cleanses my soul
And reveal to me
The harmony that long was lost
It sets my spirits free
At last I feel, I feel at ease
The winter cold just grants me peace
The bitter cold is here
Light dies, I hear you cry
A dismal life appear
I live while others die
Softly caressed by silence
And by the darkest night
I make my way through shadows
Into the dying light
The pain inside, it withers away
The silence is here, it leads me astray
In the cold dead winter
My mind is free
In the grip of silence
Life is burning in me
At last I feel, I feel at ease
The winter cold just grants me peace
The bitter cold is here
Light dies, I hear you cry
A dismal life appear
I live while others die
I live while others die
Winterland, Ausdruck meines ewigen Hasses
Ein heulend, einsamer Geist erfriert mir die Gedanken
Dorthin, dem Nordwind entgegen suche ich
Der Hass treibt mich voran, die Klte zerfrisst mein Herz
Vergebliches Warten ein Leben lang
Eine schwarze Burg, ein Traum am Tage
„onen weit entfernt in den ewigen Wldern
Das Paradies der verlorenen schwarzen Seelen
Die Hnde formen das verbotene Zeichen, ich lache ber euch
Eine Schar Raben frisst von mir, aber ich bin nicht mehr dort
Grausame Schreie, die Seelen der Erfrorenen
Die Raben warten, aber ich stehe noch
(feat. Mike Herrera of MxPx)
I watched the clock drift half past three
And waited for you patiently
Your call it came with half-surprise
And left as soon with your goodbyes
I hardly have the time you said
Its late where you are so get to bed
I wont be sleeping tonight
As long as youre awake
Ill wait for the winter to come
And maybe by then youll be done
Wasting your time on someone
Who doesnt care half as much as I do now
I watched the clock drift half past four
And walked my worries to the door
When what I thought was meant to be
Came down on me I said
Ill wait for the winter to come
And maybe by then youll be done
Wasting your time on someone
Who doesnt care half as much as I do now
I sat alone until my eyes shut
Alone I woke to California sun
Excuse the way that I care too much
But all my hope is running out of luck
The cold outside lays waste to life. Suspends the process of decay.
Alone without a friend suffer as night becomes the death of day.
CHORUS: 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.
Red sky at night, the shepherds delight but nothing left by the morning.
In the town they feel safe, fools like flies their friends are falling.
Wrap up warm, you'll catch your death. Don't let your death catch you.
I'm on my knees
On a frozen land
I'm looking at the sky
And it's laughing at me
I'll beg for mercy
- but there's no mercy -
Is that the way winter
Wants to kill me?
Oh, no more
Snow no more
Cold I'll beg you no more
Ice no more
I'm on my knees
In knee-deep snow
- still snowing -
I'm really freezing
My hands are cold
And head-ache is awful...
Is that the way winter
Mother earth revived in Spring
And we could breath again
From her long hard frozen sleep
The world was free again
Teenage happiness
All the horny animals
Flowers blooming
And the birds did sing
But Remember
Winter
Lives inside of me and in us all
In the good ole Summertime
Or so we used to say
Wet skin in motion under bright blue skies
Remember grey
We were under water smiling at the yellow sun
While the world above was so cruel
Thinking of
Winter
Lives inside of me and in us all
Winter inside of me
I wish it was fall to summer
Winter
Lives inside of me and in us all
It was a winter such as when birds die
In the deep forests; and the fishes lie
Stiffened in the translucent ice, which makes
Even the mud and slime of the warm lakes
A wrinkled clod as hard as brick; and when,
Among their children, comfortable men
Gather about great fires, and yet feel cold:
I know if I'll make it through this winter without you by my side
I waited for you so long while I traveled far and wide
Convinced myself there's no one better, so how could I deny
Your love, it's like a thorn into my side
My friends they understand me better but don't whisper goodnight
I want a lover and a sister, but we know that's not right
You used to listen to my music, I always wondered why
I wish I could pretend you make me try
I want the days to come, I want these sleepless nights to end
I lie here thinking how I lost you to all your stupid friends
You made me feel so foolish for the twenty-second time
Your love might be the last time that I try
Don't know if I'll make it through this winter without you on my own
I waited here for you forever, I can't believe you'd go
I may not have the answers, but I'd rather never know
Your love was such a heavy, heavy blow
Goodnight my love, you seemed so nice 'til I knew you better
Now I can tell you're always thinking twice about what might be better
On the outside, there's no conscience, you're a victim of your cautiousness
Never see winter let it come back again
Take me back
take me back
through this cinematic flickering
let the fog on our window melt
I've never met a partial friend who would never leave
cloudy are the things we try to say
cloudy are the things we try to see
I STILL SEE WINTER
in my mind's blind eye
COLD SKY FILLING UP
with the color of our breath
FOOT PRINTS SOLACE
in the way we step
TEACHER SPEAK SOFTLY
show me how it all will end
NEVER SEE WINTER
NOTHING IS LEFT
NEVER AGAIN WILL THIS COME FULL CIRCLE
NO ONE IS LEFT
REMEMBER THE ONES WHO STAYED
NEVER SEE WINTER
I STILL TRY HOLDING IT CLOSE
only now so distant
JUST IN MEMORIES
will I remember those friends
TAKE ME BACK...
THE ONLY ONE WHO IS LISTENING
IS DEAF AND NO ONE ELSE IS CARED ABOUT
Onheilspellend als een naaldbos in de schemering
en duister als een treurwilg boven een moeras...
Zwarte mist hangt boven landen,
donkere luchten verduisteren het Noorden...
BEHEKST!
Zwarte ravijnen en berghellingen onder een bewolkte hemel...
De regen valt, bladeren vallen: het leven vergaat...
Fluisterende bomen verbergen de stilte
en een nevel verhult overal de zwakheid van het licht.
DUISTERNIS!
Een ijskoude beek stroomt van een rotshelling,
onbekend noodlot wacht ons...
Storm is op komst... vanachter de horizon...
winter's comin' on
can't you feel it in your bones now
laid to rest
with the very best
i did the best that i could
send me on my way
with disaster on the brain
with blackened lungs
still my song is sung
i did the best that i could
so tie me up
and turn me loose
tell me 'bout abuse
the things i know
i learned on my own
i wrote this book for fun
tell me what you think you should
sell me what you think is good
tell me
So maybe I will find a broken place to call my throne.
They say home is where the heart is, but mine is made of stone.
And I've walked 50 miles to hear the child's voice.
And at that it's pretty faint, I wasn't given a choice.
Pacing and pondering, no sleep and wandering around,
Oh this isn't what we had in mind.
I guess we'll take it day by day,
and I'm not sure exactly if I'll go or if I'll stay.
(A thin wall that's keeping me from all these consistencies I have,
It's what we've waited for, for all of our lives.
And I'm gonna try to bend or break you, and if a leave a scratch,
I'm certain I can charge right through.)
Bring me back to my slumber, my dreams are what cause me to wonder.
Savor all the memories, block out all the enemies.
Wake up in a cold, cold sweat, screaming.
And I guess it's what we call redemption,
the sad thoughts in my mind I forgot to mention.
The familiar realm is seeming, to be the escape that I've been needing.
These substances, These crutches.
And I'm still standing on my own two feet,
so many souls I have yet to meet.
I've gone to the greatest lengths to put the past behind me.
My Dreams are of the Most Torturous,
Horrendous visions of Pain and Torment,
Bleak Nightmares, Visions of Death scarring me
Like a Razor to my wrist.
Sleep is what now I am without,
Restless I often find myself,
At the mercy of my Suicidal thoughts and Misery.
Beyond the Veils of Negative Existence I go,
To where The Coldness in my heart is matched by my Surroundings,
Freezing, Isolated Forests and Endless Graveyards,
Always ringing are Funeral Bells, yet no one is here to die who has not already.
I feel now, and the awareness still is growing,
That I am at one with death,
That I know of dying,
And my death will not be long to wait for.
The somber, Depressive sense of affection she once showed,
I now realize is lost, Cloaked in the shroud blanketing her.
She died with no procession,
Her Funeral Ceremony was into my arms.
And yet,
I still was her only attendant to her final breaths,
Standing in the rain with the Gentle breeze chilling me further.
I feel not as if Happiness and Positiveness are things I wish not to adhere to in me,
But that I no longer can, for hope is no longer something I recognize,
I have long since given up on life and that something may take away this pain,
For all the things that ever cared about me have gone and have died.
She was the last one I cried for,
Now,
Tears are a pointless and empty output of my concealing sorrow,
For what point is there to cry,
When I know no one will ever see my face again.
The last I could give her was a crudely dug grave,
And the stain of tears and blood spattered upon her cheek,
Growing cold, gathering decay,
Her Mortal Beauty ruined and rotting away beneath frostbitten earth.
But her soul shall go on.
I am cursed, wretched,
I remain.
What point is there?
Along the path of sorrow I shall walk, and along the path of Death I shall transcend.
The air is getting colder by the day,
I am losing strength and I grow weary of this curse of flesh.
Let me die.
Lord Satan let me die.
Seize from me the life and filthy human blood pushing through my corrupted veins.
There must be a way out.
There must be a way out.
My skin is growing paler as I wander through the uttermost accursed lands,
Funereal and So Bleak
My eyes are worn and my wrists are in shreds,
My throat is slashed,
I bleed.
I am lost in bewildering percolation, leaving the snow behind me blood red,
But who cares?
Who fucking cares and ever did anyway?
Everyone who may have is rotting and corroding beneath the cold wintry soil.
I am dying, nothing is left, I realize Nihility, and I realize Solitude.
Death, take me in your arms; I have waited so long
Forgotten,
My pouring blood becoming Ice, my corpse growing colder.
Will she be what awaits me, or shall I be alone forevermore,
Warum wird die sonne immer schwächer
Warum wird der Regen immer mehr
Die Vögel sitzen nicht mehr auf den Dächern
Die Freude aller Mensch ist jetzt leer
So graue Wolken überall zu sehn
Die Sonnenstrahlen am gehn
Die ganze Wärme verschwindet
Alles verblüht, alles wird kahl
Die Sonne die mich so findet
Die ist jetzt weg die war einmal
Der Regen klatscht auf den Boden
Der Tag so schattig wie die Nacht
Die Wolken bilden einen Knoten
Was hat der Winter mit uns gemacht
Die weißen Perlen fallen runter
Vereisen unser ganzes Herr
Die Welt die wäre doch so viel bunter
Wenn es endlich Sommer wäre
Die ganze Wärme verschwindet
Alles verblüht, alles wird kahl
Die Sonne die mich so findet
Die ist jetzt weg die war einmal
love will carry me over land to the sea
take me far away to a home where i'll stay
I give you part of me and thru your eyes I will see
a place where there is light and all the stars are out at night
and I came calling out your name
and I came calling out in vain
and I walk and no one knows my name
and I come will you help me find my way
theres another way if I leave here today
I'm down and I'm blue am I hearing right
will I come find you, if I fall away in there
and I came calling out your name
and I came calling out in vain
and I walk and no one knows my name
and I come will you help me find my way
if it's over the highest peak I will go if you cover me
oh I know I'll fail oh I know I'm weak but its you again
over and over I hear angels singing love
I dreamed I found you, yearning tides love the moon
hold me in your mourning light
The eclipse of the sun
Throws a shadow on this planet
Cold winds rushing over land
Frost is reigning
All warmth is vanished
Winter
No romantic nights
Stare at the blue cold moon
Feel the earth becomes colder
Brain it's slowly freezing it slowly... dies
Nature a mass of ice
No romantic nights
Stare at the blue cold moon
Feel the earth becomes colder
Brain it's slowly freezing it slowly... dies
Nature a mass of ice
Frost I'm yours
[Verse 1]
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with best we own
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A center full of miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby
[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
[Verse 2]
Cursing me, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hyptonized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are...I want you to know baby
[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
[Bridge]
No one can pause
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my hear that's what you are
A song that goes on and on
[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
She wastes her days away
She sinks her teeth into
her dead end job
Long since had given up
on Childhood dreams
All the things that she
could have become
Muttering to herself
Underneath her breath
She says
I hope I can make it
through winter
Winter
And she tries
To pretend
To believe
That she can
He barely gets out these days
His body ruined by a dead end job
Let go after forty years
He was replaced
When younger faster
workers came along
Now sitting in his room
With the shades pulled shut
He barely realizes that it's winter
A winner
And he tries
To pretend
To believe
That his life
Turned out good
Trying to
Pretend they took the
right road the path to
Doors shut along
And failures that
The change of seasons passes
Neverending iwth the day
The wizard we call winter
Can bring storms into our bays
First we pray for sunshine
Then we plead for rain
But the deadly time of year
Is the season we cannot change
Tramping through the snowdrifts
We'veweary and battle fatigued
Anticipating ambush
At every rustling tree
We're two months away from death
Trudging ever onward
Frostbitten feet and frozen breath
White winter brings the new-fallen snow
Nature's eulogy for sin
The coming of winter, a season of love
And the waging of war between men
Headed for a battlefield where we will surely die
Our fate is written in the stars tonight
Our future changes, though I know not how
Destiny is changed - now!
A wizard upon us , eyes blazing, spells spewing from his mouth
Flames leaps from his hands, hallucinations
We will never know as we're engulfed in flames
Oh, to die this way, when we're defenseless
At the hands of this occult master gone insane...
Awaken shackled, and my men are here
As for my comrades, two are dead I fear
Until I see life in both of them
Torchlight approaches - here!
An old man unlocks me, and the rest of my men as he speaks these words
"I am Krakenaus, you must follow me,
We will escape from this forsaken pit of hell!
Now come quickly, if we're discovered
You will suffer a fate that is worse than death!"
(Solo: Brett, Ron, Brett, Ron)
Following a stranger, I'm dependent for life
Hoping the man is not a deceiver
The walls are getting cold, we must be nearing an out
In Krakenaus I am now a believer
Running blind through the flurry of snow
Guided only by the page of a master
We know the wizard's here, he has pursued us this night
Greeted only by his hideous laughter
(Solo: Brett, Ron)
"You have betrayed me!", the wizard screams
In a second, he's sprouted demon's wings
Four words are spoken, "La Fem Acroche Ach"
And Krakenaus is - gone!
The wizard upon us, eyess lunatic, spells spewing from his mouth
Flames leap from his hands, not illusions
We think otherwise then we're engulfed in flames
Oh to die this way, when we're defenseless
[INSTRUMENTAL]
December approaches its dark depths
Decorate my fears
Alluring shadows of unrest
Drawing near
Pain and pleasure
Once captured the devil's[?] fear
The place of doom shall pierce my heart no more
Frost historic[?] winds blown by reddest[?] rage
Crawl
We rape the earth
Polluting minds
Enforce the laws
[something indecipherable]
Replace the forest
With concrete and steel
To the darkness
With my [a] shadow [something indecipherable]
Tears of anguish foreclose
My heart is condemned
Separation of immortality laws [lies] within
Storms caused by the dark lord
For eternity return no more
Witness the [something indecipherable] winds
Dreams now reality
The season [s] buried for ages
The place all frozen still [The glaze of frozen steel]
Upon the body laid still
Extracted by sorcery
Once there was a myth [Once temples of myth]
Rivers of fear run cold
Ice castle formation
Frozen tears escape eternal frost
Hope and desire fade
Fury in the emperor's eyes
Cast here for eternity
Season of the damned [dead]
Rivers of fear run cold
Ice castle formation
Frozen tears escape eternal frost
Forbidden land of sorrow
At last the winter winds sing
Scattered ashes of kings
Gaze at the fallen walls [fallen ones; fallen world]
Rivers of fear run cold
Ice castle formation
[instrumental]
The desert mist
Inferno rise [Infernal rise; Infernal eyes]
The tyrants of oppressive life [No tolerance of oppressive life]
Grant us strength in this journey
Chaos my destiny
My palace of wisdom [My powers and wisdom]
Acting on minimal instinct
Gates of steel secure my fortress
Grant us strength in this journey
Chaos my destiny
My palace of wisdom
Swirling winds by moonlight
Cries of birdsong at dawn
Dreaming eyes of destiny
Storms of Northern winds
Eternal screams of twilight hope
Enchanted apparition seek eternal life
A restful sleep embodies me
Like hourglass sands
Clench [Glance] souls obscured[?]
Grant us strength in this journey
Chaos my destiny
Drifting apart like two sheets of ice, my love
Frozen hearts growing colder, with time
There's no heat, from our mouths
Please take me back to my rich youth
And we were in flames,
I needed, I needed you
To run through my veins
Like disease, disease
And now we are strange, strangers
It's different now, grey face
Eyes burnt out, flames are gone now
Gloves are on
I have a feeling, love's gone mad
We're too similar
Loosing minds with comic fever
Shutting confined spaces
Lost in the dark
My heart taken, resting on your heart
And we were in flames,
I needed, I needed you
To run through my veins
Like disease, disease
And now we are strange, strangers
Wait for me to degrade
Before you go killing
Pray for waste of
Daylight speaks when
Slumbers keeping
Under the pain
Out of the veins
Underailing, I live in stains
My sheets
It's on piece of me
It's on piece of me
Oh winter, come
Oh winter, crush on
All the things that I once loved
Winter come,
Winter crush,
Tolling death bells of the hands of time [lands of time]
Numbing minds forced in thought
Unheard cries of whimpered breath
Penetrating steel
Illuminations fade
Sacrosanct of another life leaving me
Tombs gone rampant [not sure about this]
Abominate like plagues [not sure]
Of negative [magnitude]
Pointing comparability
Confirming unknown
Corrupted minds who act for self
Logic seeds born as life
Pods [plants] from the [something indecipherable] grown reliant
Unending quest for hope
Storms of hooded horsemen
[Something indecipherable] through dying eyes
The ashes blow - torrent winds
Rise
Dark shadows [no shadows] and expectations [no expectations]
Defiance unspoken truth
Doom-filled ignorance and lust
Betrayal of sacred prophecies [proxies]
Invasion of hurt
Penetration of Sensitivity
What are my secret fears
Red is rain of tears
Come back dear dreams
Tales untold [Tales of old]
Endless sleep [In this sleep]
Servant of the warsmen
Rise
Screams of passion through the dark
Ignored by pain and suffering
Gloomy paths decorate the halls [walls] of darkness
Burning hate
Flesh
Heavenlight [Heaven's light; Heavenly light]
Nevermore
Rising conqueror
Forbidden truth
Sanctify my fortress
Come back dear dreams
Tales untold [Tales of old]
Endless sleep [In this sleep]
Servant of the warsmen
Unopened eyes revealing fear and anguish
Told of untrue myth
Viewing apparitions in unsightly [unsaintly] ways
Need not hunger for the feast ablaze
Search across barren land
Inhibitions of solitude for the rising hand
Pepetual dreams
Deafening screams
Dreams and knowledge perishing to
A nonexisting existing state
Viewing apparitions in unsightly [unsaintly] ways
Need not hunger for the feast ablaze
Seeking ways of human torment
False beliefs
Beliefs in hate
Perpetual dreams
Deafening screams
Goden
Hear the piercing cries
Of the Fourth Horseman in the wind
Goden
Unleashed by the angels
From the four corners of the earth
Not forseen [never seen] is a rising apocalypse
Through the dust of the Elders
Left for their wrath [the wrath]
Eternal tears
What a time
What a drought
What a clumsy way of getting us out
They say we're fine
I think we're finally chopped onions

Wouldn’t you like to make your own mind about it
You wait, you'll see
How we are sinking slowly
Looking for a solid cloud
I’ll be wishing him solid to be coming down loud
And I will be soaked deep with the rest of the crowd
Getting soaked deep too
What a clime
What an ex
Such an impressive wave of special effects
They say we’re gone
I think we are gonna get stronger
Looking for a solid cloud
I’ll be wishing him solid to be coming down loud
And I will be soaked deep with the rest of the crowd
Everybody’s walking, climbing, running, waiting
winter's fallen down to wait for something newfinally
gave up through all that's left to do
finally gave up you oh you put me through
why don't we trade off soon all your wish is true
it can be our gift new makeshift that is few
it can be a part through all that's left to do

this won't happen again
yeah we live to defend every last dying trend
this won't happen again
yeah we live to defend every last dying trend
Hey yeah.. ohh ahh..
There is ice, alive, turn ice into fire
I want, I need, to feel such desire
A pain lies deep, in the heart of my soul
This truth, unfolds, and I'm losing control
And I'm losing control..
I drift in this place, I can't see ahead
Searching around, for the answers..
[x2]
And it's cold, outside, and I feel the winter
There's a chill, in the air, of secrets untold
Hey yeah.. ohh ahh..
Tonight, I crave, sunlight on my face
For I, can see, it's lonely in space
A touch, can make, the senses awake
But fear, controls, your every mistake
Your every mistake..
I drift in this place, I can't see ahead
Searching around, for the answers..
[x4]
And it's cold, outside, and I feel the winter
There's a chill, in the air, of secrets untold
Hey yeah.. ohh ahh..
And it's cold outside.. and it's cold, outside
And it's cold outside..
[x4]
Tree tops are swaying
But the roots plan on staying,
I can see my reflection
On snowy white mountains
Stand and keep awake
As the fever sets and starts to break
The fog is lifting from the southern gates
I just wanna see another day
Across the frozen white valley
A sunrise rising before me,
My mind isn't clear
Just gotta get outta here
Stand and keep awake
As the fever sets and starts to break
The fog is lifting from the southern gates,
I just wanna see another day
Stand and keep awake
As the fever sets and starts to break
The fog is lifting from the southern gates,
I just wanna see another day
Stand and keep awake
As the fever sets and starts to break
The fog is lifting from the southern gates,
we're in the middle of the winter
and walking hand in hand
long lime no see, but now you're here with me
to bless this icy land
if the night is dark and cold
I will warm you with my kiss
let me hold you in my arms again
and vow to stay with me
through the snow
I was always sad and cold
all alone, before we met
now you've taught me how to find the light
even in darkness of winter
we are wandering hand in hand
up and over hills of snow
Tortured days
Since you are gone
Darkest pain
Through my veins
Frozen tears
I'm just dying
Joy is veiled
All is crying
[chorus]
More convinced than ever
Nothing is forever
So black is your heart
So sad as your words are
As cold as dead inside
Forgetting you or suicide
Days of fire
Thoughts of desire
They are gone now
I don't know how
Frozen tears
I'm just dying
Joy is veiled
All is crying
[chorus]
More convinced than ever
Nothing is forever
So black is your heart
So sad as your words are
As cold as dead inside
Forgetting you or suicide
I feel completely desolated
Advancing towards the extinction
I am beyond salvation
Who's gonna mourning my soul
When I just flush me away?
[chorus]
More convinced than ever
Nothing is forever
So black is your heart
So sad as your words are
As cold as dead inside
Got no silver in my pockets
Got no pillow for my bed
And the winter it gets stronger
Got to ease my aching head
In the morning when I wake up
Get this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I'll die young
Or just go out of my mind
I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
It still sends my senses reeling
Going winter underground
I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
And it sends my senses reeling
Sleep through nuclear winter
And rest
Heal, reinforce, hold on
And rise
Welcome to your kingdom
Your paradi**
Welcome to your kingdom
Your paradi**
Bye bye bye
In heaven everything is fine
In heaven everything is fine
In heaven everything is fine
You got your good things
And you got mine
The winter is coming Way too soon Winter is coming Way too soon
Oh winter is coming Way too soon Oh winter is coming Way too soon
How in the world can winter fall apart
How in the world can winter fall apart
ohhhhhhhhhhh
How in the world can winter fall apart
......all away, all away
How in the world can winter fall apart
......all away, all away
How in the world can winter fall apart
How in the world can winter fall apart
away
all away
How in the world can winter fall apart
......all away, all away
How in the world can winter fall apart
......all away, all away
How in the world can winter fall apart
I should know who I am by now,
I walk the record stand somehow,
Thinkin’ of winter
Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown,
And I remember the truth,
A warm December with you,
But I don’t have to make this mistake,
And I don’t have to stay this way
If only I would wake...
The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown,
And I remember the truth,
A warm December with you,
But I don’t have to make this mistake,
And I don’t have to stay this way
If only I would wake...
I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes,
And I miss you still
Oh! I remember the sound
Of your November downtown,
And I remember the truth,
A warm December with you,
But I don’t have to make this mistake,
And I don’t have to stay this way
Because I know Winter's come too soon
We won't know it all
Because I saw you there, this morning leaves
That's all I know
And all the things I seen
Winter will be mine
Because all them wasted years are gone
You're not shouting
Because I know Winter's come too soon
We won't know it all
Because I saw you there, this morning leaves
That's all I know
And all the things I seen
Winter will be mine
Because all them wasted years are gone
the lonliness is never kind
everytime the shadows cross my mind
and chills they trace my spine
the night is cold
the pain is old
embracing all the hopes I hold
intentions go untold...
can I?
fly away, cry away
let the tearfall drench your skin
fly away from the day
that your heart got stranded in
fly away, cry away
let the tearfall drench your skin
fly away from all the grey
of the winter that you're in
is this the endless ride
the hell inside
and no one to confide
and innocence has died
and all the prayers that I have yet to say
and all the grace I've
somehow pushed away
if I look up today... can?
Winter
If we hold onto each other
Life would be so sweet
If we hold onto each other
Life would be complete
All this time
Winter was coming
All this time
December air was blowing
All this time
Leaves of fall were stirring
All this time
Winter was coming
We can't hold onto each other
Life would be so sweet
We can't hold onto each other
Life would be complete
All this time
Winter was coming
All this time
December air was blowing
All this time
Leaves of fall were stirring
All this time
Winter was coming
This time
How can I take no
This time
How can I take no
If we hold onto each other
Life would be so sweet
If we hold onto each other
Life would be complete
All this time
Winter was coming
All this time
December air was blowing
All this time
Leaves of fall were stirring
All this time
Winter was coming
All this time
All this time
All this time
A couple sat in front of me
It just made me more lonely
He was laughing on her
I was looking for the cure
I stood up to move away
Find a different seat on the train
How to escape from you,
I don't know what to do
You said you would follow me if went amiss
But how could I guess if you liked this
You said you would hold me close and never let go
But how could I know if you're so cold
It feels so cold
But I am warmer now that I'm alone
That boy he had your golden hair
I did my best not to stare
There was a boy with eyes so green
But it was you I would see
The frosty window was a ...ways
Made me think of your fresh face
Oh, this I cannot live
How I wish I didn't care
You said you would follow me if went amiss
But how could I guess if you liked this
You said you would hold me close and never let go
But how could I know if you're so cold
It feels so cold, it feels so cold
But I am warmer now that I'm alone
All my love I gave it to you
But I promised I don't miss you
All I got is nothing now
But I promised I don't miss you
A couple sat in front of me
It just made me more lonely
It feels so cold, but I am warmer now

The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me
He was about seven
His mother was a cleaning lady
She had a large black dog
And the mad kid said
"Gimme the lead
Gimme the lead
Gimme the lead"
I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house
The lawn was littered with cans of Barbican
There was a feminist's Austin Maxi parked outside
With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side
On the inside and they didn't even smoke
Anyway two weeks before the mad kid had said to me
"I'll take both of you on,
I'll take both of you on"
And then he seemed the young one
He had a parka on and a black cardboard Archbishop's hat
With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones
He'd just got back from the backward kids' party
Anyway then he seemed the young one
But now he looked like the victim of a pogrom
Entrances uncovered
Street signs you never saw
All entrances delivered
Courtesy winter
Entrances uncovered
Street signs you never saw
All entrances delivered
Her chamber waits through timeless days
For her lost warmth and her voice
And the haunting way she moves against the wind
In such silence
Set blue skies aflame
For in the dark I hear her name
Forge the steel of fragile hope
Let the tapers burn throughout this night
And so the blue dawn sets
Strewn with white clouds in the sky
And our eyes meet through the haze
Of distant years and fallow dreams (are we to...)
Set blue skies aflame
For in the dark I hear her name
Forge the steel of fragile hope
Let the tapers burn throughout this night
When you hear the ghostly winds calling soft, just close your eyes.
When you hear the thunder roll through the past, just hold me near.
When you hear the ghostly winds calling soft, just close your eyes.
was it really
years ago
did you need me
well, I'll never know
I'm sorry for clinging
I'm sorry for wanting more
my heart was there for you pounding down your door
maybe it was timing
maybe I was too much
running behind you
pushing my love
well, you weren't ready
and you said you thought I knew
but I was taken with your beauty
I was lost inside of you
winter made a sound
maybe next time if you need me
I'll be around... I'll be around... I'll be around
I'll be around
I never meant to swallow you
you never were my savior maybe just my lover
maybe nothing more
now one more winter
has passed so silently
and I'm tired of longing
that you'll come back to me
winter made a sound
maybe next time
if you need me... yeah' you'll need me
and winter made a sound
I know' if you need me
I'll be around' I'll be around' I'll around
I'll be around
now one more winter I know' now one more winter I
know...
Winter is coming,
it's coming through my window,
it's slipping up my shirtsleeves,
makes the cars run slow.
And I smell it in our skin
and all the trees hang low.
I built a fire,
to warm all of our cold bones
'cause you were like a snowcone
huddled up in scarves.
Just brushing the ice out from your hair
and sparkles on the carpet.
I'll put the kettle on
and make some hot chocolates.
The animals slept through the cold,
sat by the window and watched the snow snowing.
You can have half of my blanket.
I stand here looking at the faces with forgotten
namesOh can't you see that I am fading.
I tried to love you but you only have yourselves to
blame
I am so tired of this masquerade.
They're all around me paranoia starts this strain again
Am I insane? Why am I laughing.
Feel like exploding, holding back with all my
discipline
Don't ask me why, I'll tell you nothing.
I'm walking in my frozen mind
Growing colder by the step
I'm talking to myself again
Have I finally reached the edge.
I wipe away these icy tears
You know I've done my part
Subzero winds they numb my fears
In this winter of my heart.
Please help me god I'm freezing
I know it numbs my pain
From the bottom of hell she's crawling
Can you feel her?
I know the fear of bleeding
I know that pleasure is pain
From the bottom of hell she's crawling
Can you feel her?
Lay down with a whore called darkness
I know she calls your name
She calls my name.
Lay down with a whore called darkness
She calls your name.
I lock my doors up and prepare myself for lonely days
I don't want to love or see the dawn
A storm is coming
And its going to blow you all away
Why am I laughing
Now that all is gone?
I bid you all
A cold goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Winter, oh, oh ...
Oh, oh, would you
Would you still watch me?
...we didn't need a... to finish, finish our talk
I thought I saw an aura in this void,
I thought there was a mirror, in your voice
Winter, oh, oh, can I
Oh, oh would you still watch me?
And the salt on your shoes, and the salt on your coat
They say exactly what I thought that it would mean
From the salt on your shoes, and the salt on your coat
Cause when I thought I have it...
Would you still watch me?
Would you still watch me?
Under, underneath the black and white
I'm still searching for light signs...
And I'm really not sure, I might even know
I'm really not sure, I would think that...
I thought I saw an aura in this void,
I thought there was a mirror, in your voice
Winter, would you still watch me?
I thought I saw an aura in this void,
I thought there was a mirror, in your voice
Winter, oh, oh now can I
Oh, oh, would you
Would you still watch me, watch me, watch me
Watch me, watch me, watch me
Watch me, watch me, watch me
And the salt on your shoes, and the salt on your coat
They say exactly what I thought that it would mean
From the salt on your shoes, and the salt on your coat
Cause when I thought I have it... (x4)
Winter, would you still watch me?
Winter, would you still watch me?
Winter, would you still watch me?
Winter, would you still watch me?
