Snow Drops

Glinting crystals within my sight
Blood and roses mark the fight
As my eyes begin to sting
I can’t identify this thing

Is this akin to a shame
Do I shoulder all the blame?

Underneith the winter snow
Where the snow drops wait to grow

Here I wait for my doom
Twilight shadows begin to loom
My heart it twists and spins away
They say that I have gone astray

In my heart strikes the pain
They’re telling me that I’ve gone insane

Underneith the winter snow
Where the blood drops wait to grow

Images swirl within my mind
They’re seeing less I think I’m blind
Feeling sick within the night
Searching, blinded by the light

Trapped within eternal dreams
Who out there will hear my screams?

Undernieth the winter glow
Where the blood drops wait to grow

And so the beast from the cave
May bring us back from the grave
Who wants that within this age?
When pain and blood score the page

Hearing this may bring to bare
How we break for those we care

Underneith the winter glow
Where the blood drops begin to grow

Pain is striking from behind
Love and life are there to find
But for those who are lost
Lie behind the veiled frost

I want to show them this scene
hidden minds behind the screen

Undernieth the moons winter glow
Where the blood drops begin to grow

Hurt is laying behind their eyes
At the words no more than sighs
Fear within begins to grow
At the knowledge that I know

They are lost out of sight
I wish they could see the stars so bright

Undernieth the moons bright glow
Where the blood drops begin to grow

As the light slows and ebbs
So we must all creep to bed
I whisper songs to the air
Casting looks at those who stare

Pain and love go hand in hand
There to make a finial stand

Stand beneath the moons bright glow
Where the blood drops begin to grow

To a river wide and bare
Waters run bright and rare
Hope to see the midnight sun
When all the colours are as one

This a song of despair
But no more for the one who cares

Stand beneath the moons bright glow
Where the blood drops begin to flow
