Lyrics
[Intro] Frost seals the path beneath the mountain A pale wind cuts the sleeping stone [Verse 1] Black branches rake the vacant sky Rime gathers where the old fires died I climb through silence, step by step Past iron roots and buried names [Pre-Chorus] The northern air takes hold of me A colder will beneath the skin [Chorus] Crown me with the winter’s silence Let the frozen heavens split Through the dark i keep ascending Where no living flame can reach [Verse 2] A ruined bell swings without sound Its bronze mouth filled with snow Below, the valley fades to grey Above, the clouds begin to burn [Bridge] No prayer survives this altitude No warmth remains in blood or bone Yet in the blackened heart of night A distant red horizon opens [Chorus] Crown me with the winter’s silence Let the frozen heavens split Through the dark i keep ascending Where no living flame can reach [Outro] When dawn arrives on fields of ice I will be gone beyond the ridge Only a trail of darkened footprints Turning slowly into snow
