I wake up in the night
Not to sound or to light
More to dream that's too real.
My thoughts circle inside
My distorted mind
Is this real or still a dream?

As I stare the silent winter night
Whispers still echo in my mind

Cry of frost, Nightfrost
Shadow play for me
Call of frost, Nightfrost
The allegory of dream

At the dark brooding sky
I see glow in the night
Through the heavy snowfall
Distant weak gleam of light
Open my tired eyes
To welcome coming dawn

As I stare beauty of winter light
Whispers are silenced in my mind

Cry of frost, Nightfrost
Shadow play for me
Call of frost, Nightfrost
My journey begins

[Solo]

Cry of frost, Nightfrost
Shadow play for me
Call of frost, Nightfrost
The allegory of dream

Call of frost, Nightfrost
Shadow cry for me
Call of frost, Nightfrost
My journey begins

From light into dark
I fall into fear
Into the unknown
The interlayer

I set candle to burn
Some light to my room
In need of cleansing
Flame before I implode

Oh - fear is all I reap
Oh - is fear all I seek?

Gleam of subtle light
In layers of my soul
Deep within the core
Deeper than I know

Lonely candle burns
Cast light to my room
I stare it for a while
Before I implode

Oh - fear is all I reap
Oh - is fear all I seek?

Fear - the burden I hold
In this slough of despond
Will I descend?

Layer of man
Layer of man
Layer of Judas
Layer of Jesus

[Solo]

Oh - fear is all I reap
Oh - is fear all I seek?

Fear - the burden I hold
In this slough of despond
Will I ascend?

Cold - I stand alone in emptiness
With pride I lie in shadows that I once left
Oh - mistakes I've made I now repeat
After all I've done how can I remember the light?

Light - remembrance of its glow
I hold my burden and feel the weight of this world
Oh - tried to be wise I became a fool
Frozen is the key to get out of this cold

I am frozen inside in the coldness of time
I lack warmth of feeling in my state of mind
Frozen inside in my own head, where I now cry

[Solo]

I am frozen inside in the coldness of time
I lack warmth of feeling in my state of mind
Frozen inside in my own head, where I now cry
I am frozen inside - my state of mind
Frozen inside - where I now cry

I walk in knee deep heavy snow
And feel wind on my skin
I'm on journey to the north
Where I was sent

I heard the calling by the light
And silent whispers in the wind.
And behind there trees I found
The monument

Cold as ice - Pure as light

Icon of ice - witness of my demise
The icon shines its cold blue light
Icon of ice - reflection of life
The icon opened the eyes of my mind

Strait is the gate and narrow way
Which leads me unto life
I feel like life has become
An open field

For a while there is no woe
And all my fears are laid to rest
Fallen is my heavy burden
From which I'm freed

Cold as ice - Pure as ice

Icon of ice - witness of my demise
The icon shines its cold blue light
Icon of ice - reflections of life
The icon opened the eyes of my mind

[Solo]

Cold as ice - Pure as light

Icon of ice - witness of my demise
The icon shines its cold blue light
Icon of ice - reflections of life
The icon opened the eyes of my mind

Icon of ice - monolith of Christ
The icon shines its cold blue light
Icon of ice - reflection in time
The icon opened the eyes of my mind

I see the red withdraw
Behind the green
On the night sky stars
Fade into clouds

Blacker than night
Colder than blue
I walk the streets
In town of vanity

The storm is rising
Color my sky
I wait for its rage
Eyes open wide

From the town of gray
To forest of green
Color my sky

[Solo]

The storm is rising
Color my sky
I wait for its rage
Eyes open wide

From the soil of gray
To snow of white
Color my sky

The storm is rising
Color my sky
I stare at its rage
Eyes open wide

From ashes of gray
To sun of red
Color of my sky

There is none righteous
All have turned aside
Sorrow fill the lives
Of falseness and lies

Not hunger or thirst
Diseases or the wars
Nothing is enough
For dying mankind

There is no horror
Which man is not capable
Misery and failure
Is it what man is made of?

I step aside to listen
The cry of this world
Pain comes in many forms
Enhanced in hands of men

Constant - amount of pain
Driving us insane
I have less so you get more
Constant are the cries
You have less so I get more
Constant are the cries

Constant - amount of pain
Driving me insane
I have less so you get more
Constant are the cries
You have less so I get more
Constant are the cries

Have a feast at Vanity Fair
I have less so you get more
Constant are the cries
Have a feast at Vanity Fair
You have less so I get more
Constant are the cries

Deep frozen snow scatters under my feet
As I walk downhill to valley below
My heart beats faster in cold pale moonlight
Behind the veil of darkness

As I walk deeper the dark narrow path
I hear the echoing whispers again
Running steps behind me but when I turn
There is no-one here with me

Day pass away from the light into night
In mourning idlestate of my brain

I submit myself for thee
I resist so it would flee
My idlestate

Though I walk the valley of the shadow of death
I will have no fear in me
For thou art with me thy rod and thy staff
They bring comfort to my soul

Day pass away from the light into the night
In mourning idlestate of my brain

I submit myself for thee
I resist so it would flee
My idlestate

[Solo]

Day pass away from the light into night
In mourning idlestate of my brain

I submit myself for thee
I resist so it would flee
When light shined upon my head
I walked through the darkest night
My idlestate

Here I stand in coldness
Crossroads in the frozen snow
Many paths from which to choose
One of them is my own

I stare in disbelief
The promise that I hold
As I can feel it in my heart

Frozen wall of despair
Has locked me inside my own head
And my soul chooses death
Rather than this so called life

I stare in disbelief
The promise that I hold
As I can feel it in my heart of cold

[Solo]

Right to choose my own way
Even though I'm locked in time
For what its worth I hold the key
That unlocks my despair

I stare in disbelief
At the promise I hold
As I can feel it in my heart of cold

Alas!

That I shall now die
Not for deed or belief
All I've been is glory
Fear shall not embrace me

Behold!

That I'm not for this
Nor my mouth says of grief
Kingdom for heartfelt love
Passed are all that was formal

Now is the winter of my discontent
Made glorious by this sun of north
All the clouds that lowered upon me
Are fallen and deep snow buried

[Solo]

Now is the winter of my discontent
Made glorious by this sun of north
All the clouds that lowered upon me
Are fallen and deep snow buried

Now is the winter of my discontent
Made glorious by this sun of north
Of forest that scent of pine refines
At heavens caress the white that alights

Black water runs in the winter breeze
Stream in motion, will never freeze

Deep or shallow it will be as belief
This waterside is where I leave my grief
Black water feels cold against my skin
I am breathless as I walk deeper in

Black water runs, takes me away
Deeper in its arms
I fell in love with the sense of being alive
And now it's so hard to let go

Far in water, gone is the feel of cold
I dream of the harbour where I float
Black water drifts me out of time
Last river is where I close my eyes

Black water runs, takes me away
Deeper in its arms
I fell in love with the sense of being alive
But now it's time to let go

[Solo]

Black water runs, takes me away
Deeper in its arms
I fell in love with the sense of being alive
But now it's time to let go

I stand at the end of time
On the shores of Wintereich

Silence lay on the landscape frozen with snow
Before me the mighty gates of pure glasslike ice
I'm alone in heavy snow in white loneliness

In distance thunder's raging and it's coming near
I listen to the roar and hear a voice that's calling me
"Come my child don't fear to enter into my domain."

White Frozen kingdom of ice - Wintereich
Into blinding cold of light - Wintereich
I feel the frost of purity - Wintereich
Cold energy enters me - Wintereich

I walk into the eye of the storm
In the heart of Wintereich

I go through the gates and up the snowbound icy stairs
Fierce wind blows but I keep walking into hall of ice
"Welcome home my child I have been expecting you."

White Frozen kingdom of ice - Wintereich
Into blinding cold of light - Wintereich
I feel the frost of purity - Wintereich
Cold energy enters me - Wintereich

[Solo]

White Frozen kingdom of ice - Wintereich
Into blinding cold of light - Wintereich
I feel the frost of purity - Wintereich
Cold energy enters me - Wintereich

Allegory of my dream - Wintereich
Cold as ice pure as light - Wintereich
I submit myself to thee - Wintereich
Into the eye of the storm - Wintereich
