From afar beyond the trees To shadow cloaked frozen streams Beside a white stronghold of snow Sown by a winter winds groan Wander where great darkness lies Beneath the stars and under the sky Through the land of ice and snow To the land where emerald leaves blow Through the land of ice and snow To the land where silver brooks flow Oaken ruin strewn upon winters realm Seek vengeance through the frost covered heath Towards footholds so cold a lanterns light lay silent Hear the distant crashing of narrow ice so violent Through the land of ice and snow A lament of betrayal written by howling winds And sung by a frozen lifeless sigh A valley glimmer sought by woeful eyes Across the waste towards eastern skies An icy blade parts the gates of night Revealed a golden light above foggy white Rivers flow deep through the melting snow To the misty shores of eternal life
