THROUGH THE VALLEYS

UNDER STARS

BETWEEN MOUNTAINS

AMONG FRIENDS

I SHALL WANDER

I SHALL PASS

TILL THE STARS CRY OUT

MY NAME AS THEIR FRIENDS

...AND THE NIGHT WILL COME AS I LAY DOWN TO SLEEP

...AND DAY WILL GIFT ME IT'S LAST LIGHT TO KEEP

...AND TIME WILL STOP AS LONG AS I NEED

...TILL IN MY HEART THERE'S NO BLOOD LEFT TO BLEED

I'm the last in line

on the road of no return

a story that is never ending

haunted by their souls

that cling to me like my guilt

there's no one who could ever save me

Can you hear their cries brought here

BY THE WIND OUTSIDE

the rain kills all the lights

AND BRINGS ETERNAL NIGHT

AND WE ARE ONE

though we are so apart

AND WE ARE ONE

alone in the dark

who would have thought

that this is real?

that they would follow

...bewitched

...depraved

this virus never dies

and the wolves prepare to least

remember their bodies

slain and burned at the stake

I carry all their pain

more than anyone could take

7. This World Of Ice

Living dead or true survivors

In a world that’s twelve to five

Unaccomplished promises

Won’t keep us alive

All hope must be disregarded

‘Cause as we look into the sky

We might fall beneath the surface

And come across the lies

We don’t need to carry on

We don’t need to comprehend

And all we say is do or fail

‘Cause we all just missed the end

HOLD ON – TAKE MY HAND

PROMISE ALL YOUR LIES

HOLD ON – STAY WITH ME

PERISH IN THIS WORLD OF ICE

Once a sanctuary

Now conquered by a rat

Feasting on a roach it found

Sleeps in the company of the dead

And all our institutions

The facile and profound

And every brick of our ivory towers

Now lays scattered on the frozen ground

We don’t need to carry on

We don’t need to comprehend

And all we say is do or fail

‘Cause we all just missed the end

HOLD ON – TAKE MY HAND

PROMISE ALL YOUR LIES

HOLD ON – STAY WITH ME

PERISH IN THIS WORLD OF ICE
