Morning light shines from the west Ageless warmth awakens from its rest Lost cold of the moon, chill of the stars The sun spreading life, the end of a war Once again the dark is driven away But this day is forever to stay Watching its face, the ending of its age The whole world trembling in rage
Slumber from its cradle Wakens to begin Lost in this world Crying death Start of an ending Birth of a time Birth of a time of ice
I'm standing at the gates of the ending Watching its vortices swirl Escaping from doom's mouth opening Invincible, ineffable, unconquerable Time has no more measure The last word I would ever form Nevermore, nevermore
Nearing death with life everywhere Sunlight pierces the impenetrable dark Without the without there is no within No morality, no virtue without its sin And the vision unfolds its wings And takes flight to the end of all things What you have melted shall freeze again soon Night comes at the tolling of noon
See this sleeping silence of snow How she screams This avalanche never-ending Once seen in fearful dreams And she shall rise A phoenix in tears Lost wisdom and justice She shall kill
Her tears; a river to cover the land in ice That somber splendor restored in her eyes A cradle of life, the frozen bath of bathory And again she is still, fairest sleeping beauty
