So the days went by And only the wind and the rain Were my companions A lot of stones laid on my path To the palace of snow And the king of fire... Majestic hights with flaming banners So giantly the king seemed to be forever lost A chilling audience for a man of noone Kneel to the king and his endless melting throne Under his crown a million creatures crawled A twisted tongue for a gesture of kindness Each glimpse made them turn to stone Their eyes like snow long for blindness ...so long in blindness For there is no way to change their chosen lot No chain of steel could bind them more My well of might is your well of sorrow Give me your sight and leave behind tomorrow My son, he said, it's better to reign in hell (Live's a path of sorrow) Than to serve in heaven Woe betide him and his bleak eyes Words of truth from a head full of lies So my quest took me onward to a brighter way I wouldn't rest here for frozen tears nor melting fears
