ONE THOUSAND WINTERS

In my sleep I walk through fields,the air is cold and clear.
A rough land I call my realm it`s like a frozen tear.

I scream in my dreams,
they`re so real that it seems
the winter will last endlessly

shrieking ravens and snow
will they ever let go
the cold season of my mind

Everywhere storm fills the air,no ray of light shining through.
The nights are so black that my soul longs for skies of blue

It`s a cold world outside
And so often I tried
To leave this winterland behind

But I´m paying the price
And keep stuck in the ice
I can`t move one single step ahead

Refrain:
Five hundred winters I `ve been starved and frozen
Five hundred more that I must now survive
A thousand winters is what I have chosen

In a crystal palace I dwell only coldness is my company
The lonely king of the icelands is all I am you see

It´s a desert I rule
So damn`hostile and cool
My only friend is the northwind

Yes I gambled away
The last chance on that day
To be spared from my cold destiny

Repeat Refrain

I still wait for this thing
that the others call spring
when the life begins again to bloom

And maybe it`s you
Who is able to do
to make me feel like spring again...
