Lady Winter...

I still remember the days I died,
I see it as clearly as there was nothing else inside.
Inside the mess I call my own head
And again, after years, I'm laying here on this deathbed.

Cause I have been deluded and felt so empty longer than I can remember
I wrecked the fragile walls that held my kingdom together for far too long
I took the step over the ledge, I cleaved my wings and learned to fall
The flames atop reached out for me, clenched my body and burned me to ash
The hounds below rent me to shreds and broke my spineless neck.
Nothing, no one, nowhere around me
But everything, everyone, everywhere inside.
By now the shores of time consumed many more of my anchors, many more than before
Dear, listen to the call of the tides, they're satirizing, they're mocking me to submerge again
While the soul choir sings...

Do you remember the time you died,
Do you remember all the feelings you've ever kept inside?
Will you ever stop to miss what you have never known,
Will you ever stop to miss what you have left forlorn?
My answer is...

Lady Winter, I hope you're listening this time
I may have burned out, but I'm rekindling inside
If only you could see, if only you could feel
The inner need to quit has never been this real
On the other hand, despite of all the pain
I'm growing stronger than ever before, I won't be washed away, I'll hold on to the shore.
I'm walking on the thin line between reality and illusion, between truth and delusion
To admit - the answer is no. I will forever miss what I have never known.

I still remember the days I died,
I see it as clearly as there was nothing else inside.
Inside the mess I call my own head
And again, after years, I'm laying here on this deathbed.

Let me rest on my deathbed, watch me sleeping in snow
Let me rest on my deathbed, slowly gaining control.

Soul Choir

I hear the call of the tides
I hear the beating of the ocean's heart...
I hear the call of the tides
I hear the beating of the ocean's heart...

All aboard the sinking ship, abandon the shore
There's enough room for all of us as the rats left long ago
By now it is too late to turn your back on me, accept your fate and we'll submerge eternally.
Can you hear the soul choir sing its bitter symphonies?
Symphonies beyond all hope for redemption and remedy
While we descend and succumb into the endless shallow, exhale one last time
Now you're all mine.

I heard that you've been yearning for a piece of blue
While you're still holding your breath, realize, see what surrounds you
And as you start to drown, the blackness sinks in, the blackness you tried to dispel within
The pulse of the ocean's heart engulfing you, dissolving you
It's filling the hole inside you, the emptiness you tried to fight for all your life

All aboard the sinking ship, abandon the shore
There's enough room for all of you as the rats left long ago
By now it's too late to turn your back on me, accept your fate and we'll submerge eternally.
While the soul choir's singing its bitter symphonies
Symphonies beyond all hope for redemption and remedy
While we descend and succumb into the endless shallow, exhale one last time...
You're mine...

All the lives thrown to the foot of my throne
All the lives I've swallowed whole
Countless lives, countless creatures, please enqueue, I won't notice you
