lyrics

Beneath the limbs of the crooked forest
In the nightside eclipse of the shadowed trees
Frostbitten in the dead cold of the midwinter
My soul yearns for a return to the history

Under broken branches
The shadows dance
Gnarled in the moonlight
Frozen in the cold of time

Shadows dance, gnarled in the moonlight
Blackened shades upon the glistening blue ice
The floor of the forest is sprinkled with mist
Sparkling eternally in the glory of the white sphere

Under broken branches
The shadows dance
Gnarled in the moonlight
Frozen in the cold of time

I live no life
I die no death
Locked in stasis
Within my ashen tomb
Landscape so white
Where I dwell
Choosing this path
No regret for the fall

With steady hands I trudge through the snowfall
Foot before foot, embracing the wintery solitude
Savoring every step that crunches through the permafrost
The crushing on snowflakes beneath my mighty heel

Under broken branches
The shadows dance
Gnarled in the moonlight
Frozen in the cold of time

They say things lurk in the crooked forest
Nameless things, horrible things
I pray to whatever gods I shall worship that we meet
For I fear that these things may be me

Under broken branches
The shadows dance
Gnarled in the moonlight
Frozen in the cold of time

Under broken branches
The shadows dance
Gnarled in the moonlight
Frozen in the cold of time
