Winter Of Souls

(album: Demons & Wizards - 2000)

Facing the storm and there's no one by my side.
The curse will take its toll, is it justice or a foolish pride?

As the wind is blowing cold and the winter takes control, how can I survive?

In higher lights we seem to drown, we hold the key but not the crown.
In higher lights we seem to drown, we hold the key but not the crown.

Look into my eyes and see, for all the wisdom I still bleed.
Only willow trees will bring oblivion.

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
Conceived of his greed and a harsh reality.

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
Your ill-gotten son, your flesh and your blood.

Faith fools the day
The honest man will fail, my son.
Facing another wound, can't hold back the storm
Soon the winter reigns my heart, we're both caught in agony.

In higher lights we seem to drown, we hold the key but not the crown.

I wish that I could turn back, reach out for the grail and find it.
I would offer soul and life, feel the emptiness, my dark son.

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
Conceived of his greed and a harsh reality.

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
The sorrow he feels shall last forevermore

Feel the cold winter night, frozen spirits in ice.
Can't wash away the misery, the dark.

War will take place at dawn, there's no choice it's all fate.
I'm not strong enough, the path lies clearly ahead.
There's no way out, can't hold back all the greed.
All the good deeds, they are past.
There's no choice, it's all fate.
It's so hopeless, too long I was blind.

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
Conceived of his greed and a harsh reality.

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
By spilling our blood we are one bound, forevermore

Haunted by the lust of my father.
Revenge is mine and down falls the kingdom.
Conceived of his greed and a harsh reality.
