My frail, virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt…
…tree
Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And i know where i stand
All of my childhood…
Promiscuous promiser
A faith lender
Indecisive decisions
Torn with heartless divisions
Watering all my visions of love…

Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky

Down in the gutter of roken hearts I lie
in 8 months time died the love of my life
Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget…
…that
you crept away like a thief in the night?
And I'm standing on top of a mountain
Crying bereavement to the stars
Will I make my way…
…at night
How i wished I could turn back time
Her name once written down in my diary
now frozen between the lines
Gone like last winter's…

…to preserve my life
Forge my own destiny
G:
We had warned a naïve trainer
Turn back or be forced to fall
To a dark demise
In which he…
…own will
**they would perish...**
To live or die!
G:
The remnants of a once glimmering soul perishing
They boy fallen under…
…to leave**
That beg for me to leave
G:
Tell me please, what have I done?
To deserve a gruesome fate
As cold as winter's snow?
BF:

Come before the winter's gale
before the frost and snow
take what I will give you
Accept my sacrifice
Covered sun has gone away…
…on bed of sprigs
you will find when darkness falls
my offerings of clean cold stones
Come before the winter's gale
before the frost and snow…
…sacrifice
Come before the winter's gale
before the frost and snow
take what I will give you
Accept my sacrifice
Covered sun has…

…is glowing in red
Blood on the snow
A letter from home
Is something to die for
Dreaming of hope
Hoping to dream
Sleepwalking…
…see
Lost in dreams that will cease to be
Bunded by snow
In winter's embrace
Only the strongest survive…
…darkness."
"Dark as the dead of the night was my world
When I opened my eyes.
Who's that lying on the snow?
A familiar face…

I woke up today and found snow perched on the ground
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
So when the leaves were…
…the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in
I had a love…
Summertime is falling down and winter's moving in
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
All my empires are fallen down and winter's moving in…

They say that Spring is for lovers
And Summer brings the sun
But after autumn leaves have fallen
My favorite season has just…
…begun
I love (I love, I love)
This time of year (This time of year)
On a copley winter's night, you can see the stars so bright
I…
…love (I love, I love)
This time of year (This time of year)
Children covered head to toe making angels in the snow
When friends…

I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind

Life was filled with wonder
I…
…felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so…

Blown away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
With the last of my…

And I have been your constant guide
From your caves on the mountainside
We have walked hand in hand

The birds sing to the dawn

Now my Lady lays with me
Our love weaves its…
The air is cold
The sky is grey
Where am I this Winter's day
Bones of trees, fallen leaves
The time of the Winter Queen
But through the wind and snow and rain
Know a part of me remains
The Holly stands, evergreen…

…Winter's come
Grey shrouds the sun

Winter has come
Grey shrouds the sun

Shiver in the breeze
Leaves have fallen down
Skeletal trees
Shiver in the breeze
Snow is on the ground
Cold wind
Let me hear you…
…whine
White world
You are a friend of mine
But you
You've been falling down
Falling down such a long time
Leaves have fallen down…

…Winter's come
Grey shrouds the sun

Shiver in the breeze

Skeletal trees

Snow is on the ground
Cold wind

Snow is on the ground
The sky is bright grey
Leaves have fallen down
Snow is on the ground
The night's run away with the day…

Beneath my feet a fresh fallen snow,
Miles and miles and miles to go.
A north wind blows cold today,
Makes it hard to find my…
…way.
To the sanctuary I seek,
Lies beyond this mountain peak.
Winter's moon lights the snow.
Showing me the way to go.
I…
…past frozen trees,
Distant light glowing hopelessly.
Has my journey reached it end,
I'm so tired, cold and spent.
I'm in need of rest and peace,
A…

Golden hair as bright as morning sunbeams
Eyes of blue that saw into your soul
A smile that could warm a winter's evening
Or touch a…
…broken heart and make it whole
Her laugh was like the sound of angels singing
Her voice was a gift from God above
Amie saw a…
…must need a very special angel
Whose heart's as pure as newly fallen snow
To come and join His choir of heavenly voices…
