Frozen Heart

[Verse I] I remember gold beneath the autumn rain Your gentle eyes could wash away my pain Before the war consumed the world in flame Before the dead forgot my holy name You held my hands when doubt was poisoning my mind Said not every battle leaves your soul behind But vengeance was a fire I could not tame And now the ashes whisper what became [Pre-Chorus] The bells still ring through ruined halls tonight For a fallen prince who lost the light [Chorus] Can you hear me through the frozen storm? Through the monster I became? I would burn a thousand kingdoms Just to feel your touch again But this crown tears deeper every night And your memory still burns so bright I was a man before the fall Now darkness is all that calls [Verse II] The blade sang promises of strength and peace Said all my fear and weakness finally cease I chased salvation through the northern snow Never seeing just how far I’d go And when you stood before me one last time I saw the horror hidden in your eyes You begged me not to lose what still remained But death had already carved into my veins [Pre-Chorus] Now every shadow in this frozen throne Reminds me I destroyed my own [Chorus] Can you hear me through the frozen storm? Through the monster I became? I would burn a thousand kingdoms Just to feel your touch again But this crown tears deeper every night And your memory still burns so bright I was a man before the fall Now darkness is all that calls [Bridge] I gave my soul to save a dying land! Now blood and ice are all that stain my hands! If love was strong enough to set me free Why did the light abandon me?! [Final Chorus] Can you hear me beyond the endless cold? Beyond the throne and chains? You were the last piece of heaven Before I drowned in pain And though the world will curse my name Inside this heart still burns a flame For the one I could not save Before I chose the grave
