[Verse 1]
I painted my heart black
Just to cover the darker shades
Framed by tears so thick from ashes
Oil and blood

Winter solstice night, but in my soul
The dark won't step aside
Increased with these long stretched hours
From seconds to years
Until years become centuries!

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lonely silhouettes
Moving on the wall like wounded birds
With their crooked black claws
Dancing around my throat

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wounded in the hands of winter
I froze to death for her
Outcast from her embrace
I bled to death for her

[Bridge 1]
But I shall return
I will haunt her in her dreams
[Chorus]
I rise like a morning star
Strike down the holy ones
Who betrayed their hearts for the crown
That melted over their eyes
I shine like the North Star
And blind their weak eyes
Fill them with my sorrow
And curse them in my arms

[Bridge 2]
You threw me down the throat of hell
Tied my hands and burned me with your tongue
Drowned me in the nothingness
Into the abyss of your poison well

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lonely silhouettes
Moving on the wall like wounded birds
With their crooked black claws
Dancing around my throat

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Wounded in the hands of winter
I froze to death for her
But I shall return
And sing you back to sleep
[Chorus]
I rise like a morning star
Strike down the holy ones
Who betrayed their hearts for the crown
That melted over their eyes
I shine like the North Star
And blind their weak eyes
Fill them with my sorrow
And curse them in my arms
