lyrics

Against the cold wind
In the winter’s night
Our fate from comfort to terror
Driven out by fever’s rage
I cannot see through the blizzard
And yet I carry on
I must find some help for you
There must be a way

A final act of desperation
If I do not you shall not live
Treading on through the darkness
My heart is pounding, please don’t die
Your head is burning, my limbs are freezing
Yet I push on into the night
I cannot let up, I will push forward
Gods help me, please don’t die

But like a bear trap
The reaper came for you
Your final breath went unheard
Your life stolen,
Swallowed whole
The pain rips me apart

The grief is agony be description
Now I have nothing left at all
The woods can take me, I will not stop them
I have no strength left to fight
The Gods betrayed me
And so my life will end
My wretched screams against the wind
Why have you forsaken me over and over
I lost my wife, I lost my life

I’d never see her again
Separated forever
And then the reaper’s hand upon my shoulder
I knew it was time to go
The final breath had frozen into frost
The journey begins so far
And in the clearing, I lost everything that night
Underneath the mourning star
