Lyrics

Icy hollow, bitter vale Blackened river, frozen lake The darkness falls Death comes for us all I am the endless snow I am the ghastly cold Famine and the hunger grows Starve and die alone Wasting famine, fever's burn Children cry and mothers wail The waiting wolves Death comes for us all I am the endless snow I am the ghastly cold Famine and the hunger grows Starve and die alone Journey afar, forest of grey Desolate cries fading away I will follow you, my love Through the storm we'll find a way Hiawatha, hear my cry Echoes in the endless snow I cannot escape the dark Death is calling and I must go Calling are the raging falls Rushing water in the night Reaching out, gripping you Eyes of fire, hands of ice Look away now, my beloved Death approaches and deceives I return with strength and light Do you remember, still believe? Over earth and mountain fly By the the snowy wasted path Endless miles passing by Smoke and ash of heaven's wrath Would that I had perished for you! Were that I were lost instead! In the dark eyes of the mother See that love, my heart is dead
