Lyrics
[Intro] Frost gathers on the iron gate A pale wind bends the nameless grass [Verse 1] I climb where the black pines thin Boots cut lines through frozen clay The mountain keeps its buried oath And turns its face from dawn [Pre-Chorus] No fire waits beyond the ridge No hand remains to call me back [Chorus] Cold crown, carry me higher Past the last bell, past the wire I give my name to the winter stone And make the silent peak my home [Verse 2] Ash lies thick in the watchtower The old flags crack like drying skin Below, the valley holds its breath While ravens mark the road [Bridge] Airy strings rise through the storm A single chord beneath the snow Then every frozen nerve ignites As black clouds seal the sky [Chorus] Cold crown, carry me higher Past the last bell, past the wire I give my name to the winter stone And make the silent peak my home [Outro] When spring forgets this northern wall My footsteps will remain A dark line cut across the white A vow beneath the rain
