lyrics

Like skeletal fingers of undying corpses
The black shapes of trees grasp the cloud laden sky
This cold winter night amongst all nature's forces
I spit on this cruel life and lay down to die

And no-one shall witness my peril

The moon's mocking face seems to smile at my anguish
As my hot salty tears melt the cold frozen snow
Soon my blood joins this flood as my body will perish
And will nourish the soil on the ground down below

And the pain of this life is forgotten

The gale nightwind sends shivers of cold down my spine
And it feels like my heart, like a dead lump of ice
Lady, I promised, all my life should be thine
But the gifts that you gave were just pitiful lies

Now watch and collect what is faithfully given

Girl, you revel in beauty, in passionful pleasures
Whilst denying that freaks are able to feel
What remains for myself out of life's golden treasures
Is a small sharpened razor of glittering steel

Thy rememberance will cease with the season

The deep lake's silver mirror shows what I will abandon
A grotesque monstrosity punished by fate
Love is reserved for the fair and the handsome
What's left for a mishappen shape is just hate

And slowly the lake freezes over
