The Drifting Snow Lyrics

by Thorns Of The Carrion

The snow drifted down upon long barren hills

Painting the frozen land an ethereal white

Among the graves we danced slowly in the night

As fruitless trees swayed in the burning cold wind

Like the diamonds hidden along the earth that day

She was nothing more than a shade, a delicate shadow

I kissed her scarlet lips as if for the first time

I drank deep her essence warm and inviting

I gazed forever into her dark eyes

And I caressed her beautiful pale face



In the dark stillness she rested in thy loving arms

Though I wished her to stay I knew the dawn was waiting

For us the sun arrives without welcome



I have seen the glory of the gray dawn

Awash in the black tears as the snow drifts down

These winter days of cold are the misery I die upon

For I have known the lovelorn life, of which I wear

that broken crown of scorn and mockery

I have known truth in hate



Love wears thin our pride and bitter is the taste

Of life and death we dance for our souls to find



For time consumes the hearts of man

And beckons the call of death's sweet kiss

The days are soon departed as loved ones long ago



There is no joy in the sadness



I had seen the sad farewell in her black eyes

Yet I held her closer still under the scarlet moonlight

I had seen the sad farewell through the gray clouds afar

As they stole away the night and out exquisite sorrow

In that eternal silent moment I knew the death of dreams

As she fell from thy arms I had seen the end of all hope

I have lost all
