| So the days went by
|
| And only the wind and the rain
|
| Were my companions
|
| A lot of stones laid on my path
|
| To the palace of snow
|
| And the king of fire…
|
| Majestic hights with flaming banners
|
| So giantly the king seemed to be forever lost
|
| A chilling audience for a man of noone
|
| Kneel to the king and his endless melting throne
|
| Under his crown a million creatures crawled
|
| A twisted tongue for a gesture of kindness
|
| Each glimpse made them turn to stone
|
| Their eyes like snow long for blindness
|
| …so long in blindness
|
| For there is no way to change their chosen lot
|
| No chain of steel could bind them more
|
| My well of might is your well of sorrow
|
| Give me your sight and leave behind tomorrow
|
| My son, he said, it’s better to reign in hell
|
| (Live's a path of sorrow)
|
| Than to serve in heaven
|
| Woe betide him and his bleak eyes
|
| Words of truth from a head full of lies
|
| So my quest took me onward to a brighter way
|
| I wouldn’t rest here for frozen tears nor melting fears |
