Song lyrics

I painted my heart black
Just to cover the darker shades,
Framed by tears, so thick from ashes, oil and blood.

Winter solstice night,
But in my soul the dark won't step aside,
Increased with these long stretched hours from seconds to years
Until years become centuries.

Lonely silhouettes
Moving on the wall like wounded birds.
With their crooked black claws, dancing around my throat.

Wounded in the hands of winter,
I froze to death for her.
Outcast from her embrace,
I bled to death for her.

(But I shall return,
I will haunt her in her dreams.)

[Chorus:]
I rise like a morning star
Strike down the holy ones
Who betrayed their hearts for the crown
That melted over their eyes.
I shine like the North Star
And blind their weak eyes,
Fill them with my sorrow
And curse them in my arms.

You threw me down the throat of hell,
Tied my hands and burned me with your tongue,
Drowned me in the nothingness,
Into the abyss of your poison well.

Lonely silhouettes
Moving on the wall like wounded birds.
With their crooked black claws, dancing around my throat.

Wounded in the hands of winter,
I froze to death for her.
But I shall return
And sing you, back to sleep.

[Chorus:]
I rise like a morning star
Strike down the holy ones
Who betrayed their hearts for the crown
That melted over their eyes.
I shine like the North Star
And blind their weak eyes,
Fill them with my sorrow
And curse them in my arms.
