Northern wind blows, strips the mind of its clothes
from misery's shards the mirror forms
there it shivers, thine mute self
that witness true,
all that is, futile he broods
And whatever you did, the wind cuts you
forms of Men spit frozen fire at you
With open arms you want, wish for the best
And when that dawn comes
You arrive at the gate of abyss
:refrain:
No flow now, everything freezes
The waters mirror only darkness
One walking on the edges alone and cold
Alone he walks, alone he remains
Yet what is will, what are wishes?
A secret,a magic, that makes you move?
Who do you hear, if any child of this world?
Thine justice is cruel,
Cold eyes cut our flight far short.
refrain (2x)
Thou art our refuge, us tormented souls
Tormented by our witnessing
Thou art our refuge, in thine name always
We swear, us defenders of cruelty.
