Winterchild

You're standing numb
Looking back, how long already?
How could you, fool, flee to the world
Just right before the break of winter?

And nothing in this world will change
All just stays the same

The world, a gate
To a thousand deserts
Silent and cold
And one who's lost
What you have lost
Does stop at nothing
Never rests

You're standing pale
Damned to go off on your winter-travel
Just like the smoke that's always seeking
Colder, chiller, higher skies

And nothing in this world will change
All just stays the same

The world, a gate
To a thousand deserts
Silent and cold
And one who's lost
What you have lost
Does stop at nothing
Never rests

Fly, bird
And sing your song
In the way of the desert bird
And hide, you fool
This bleeding heart
In ice and snow
In chill and scorn

Yeah
Ooh

Yeah

Save your prayers before they swoon
This bitter cold that came so soon
Every story has its end
His future dreams forever banned

Oh, my dearest Winterchild
Overwhelmed by coldness
Ice and snow at night

The crows are screaming
And fly whirring towards town
Soon it will snow
Woe betide those who don't have home

And nothing in this world will change
All just stays the same

The world, a gate
To a thousand deserts
Silent and cold
And one who's lost
What you have lost
Does stop at nothing
Never rests

Fly, bird
And sing your song
In the way of the desert bird
And hide, you fool
This bleeding heart
In ice and snow
In chill and scorn
