---

In a dream I was playing the hero,

When lightning stopped my nerves were shattered,

Dark laughter said that I was much too late,

For the very last time,

Night again and somehow colder,

Breath escapes in a crystal haze and I,

Chase panick in the black of a whispered scream,

As blood turns to crimson ice,

Murder by degrees,

And frost killing time,

I still see my brother's eyes,

Burning through the freeze,

Vision clouds to the sight of a dream and then,

Grey eyes of a snow wolf fill the sky,

Feel the hot sting of winter's dying kiss,

A glass angel chills my heart,

Murder by degrees,

And frost killing time,

I still see my brother's eyes,

Burning through the freeze,

Snow creatures swarming as sleep comes I fall,

I'm pulled through a crack in the ice.
