Album: Spell Of Iron (1986)

Midwinter Nights


[Hietala]

Screams falling out of the sky
Blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
Twisted shape of eternity
Freezing wind bites my flesh
Rips it off over the bone
Stranded in the night forever
Pain makes me scream and groan

I can no longer break the shields of my loneliness
I'm only waiting in the everlasting fortress of midwinter nights

Soul lost in anger and frustration
Darkness enters me
Ruins, decay and desolation
Are left from my world to be seen
Out in the snow with my ghosts
Howling in the woods with beasts
Blackhearted grief swells in me
Gone too far for anyone to reach

I can no longer break the shields of my loneliness
My name is forgotten, I'm only growing less

Won't you please let me in, I'll do no harm
Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
Won't you please let me in, there'll be no harm
My heart just can't bear this chain
Of midwinter nights

Screams falling out of the sky
Blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
Twisted shade of eternity
