Glistening in the snow The world carries on Now I find the time has come The truth I face alone Tell them they don't love you Ask them if they care The coldness of their faces The burden they all bear It finds me Clouds parting Invades me Midnight standing there The winters they have come To cast on brighter days Silver stars in blackness Slowly find their way As the nighttime falls The children they all gasp Closed up tight for dreaming You know they are the last Tonight the silent stillness Now has come To put the world in motion Tonight it must be done
