Ballad of the Winterborn Lyrics


I was born amidst the season of ice and sorrow

When the Sun denies all sanctity in life

And seals its radiant caress away from

Earth’s impenetrable grey blindfold

A new breath embraced by frost

A first cry kissing the crystallized sky

Welcome to my dominion, my time has come

Emotions relinquished, leaving void to reign

Colors of the past decay under cracking footsteps

Monolithic white versus shards of frozen heart

Every poison I held within now’s conquering horizons

Countless mirrors of ice staring back at me

I inhale the rage carried by gales’ wings

Vitric droplets flagellating skin and sight

From gentle anger to relentless fury

Burden of forgiveness once given, swept by a whirl

Razorblade vortex dance of a frostbitten soul

The lowest of desires now go skyward only to rain back

I see my hatred, frozen in time, hanging in wait

To be unleashed by the gravity of thoughts

Spikes and daggers of ice start a song unvoiced

As the blizzard arises from a short slumber

Ripe fruits of the untamed permafrost now glitter

Gathering strength to grow into vengeful avalanche

When everything is as cold as me

Remember that you took my last spark

When the darkness finally binds the light

Realize what you have made me become

When the absence of mercy oppresses any warmth

Abandon your shelter and face the storm

Survive the winter

Survive me
