1. First Snow Of Winter

2. Calm Before The Snowstorm

I – I am Alfa – I am Omega
I am the first and will be the last
I am beginning – I am the end
I seize the world in palm of my hand

Ice cold blood of immortal
In the silence we are waiting
In cold blood

You – you have the will – you have the means
We have the coldness of blue flamed fire
Together we fly through ice and snow
And seize the world in palm of our hands

Ice cold blood of immortal
In the silence we are waiting
In cold blood

Calm before the snowstorm – cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm – blue flamed fire can't be defined
Calm before the snowstorm – cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm

Time is upon us, we've been waiting for,
In the silence; in cold blood...

Calm before the snowstorm – cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm – blue flamed fire can't be defined
Calm before the snowstorm – cold blood of immortal
Calm before the snowstorm

3. Dawn Of Northern Coldness

...the time has come for time to end
For this is the dawn of northern coldness...

Like the ice cold northern wind
Falling down on the frozen landscape
Over lakes, across the seas
Into hearts and souls
I look at the wall of snow
Showing me the way to go
Freezing all except my soul
At the dawn

Cold sun is rising – from the east
Light through the snowfall – color the mountains
The time has come – for time to end

Strengthening in our belief
On our way to the final frontier
Who has the will shall have the means
My brothers in arms
I walk into sanctuary
My brothers here with me
Start of a new century
At the dawn

Cold sun is rising – from the east
Light through the snowfall – color the mountains
The time has come – for time to end
Dawn of the northern coldness – the dawn of northern coldness

...the time has come for time to end
For this is the dawn of northern coldness...

4. The Trail In The Snow

I walk into the unknown
Away from it all
Drifts and piles of snow
Frozen class like trees
Mountains of ice
Far lands of north
I see the features
Of depressed human mind
All of those creatures
That crawls in at the night
I feel like falling
To dark side of the moon
Struggle in within
Trying to escape my doom

The trail in the snow I walk in the shadow of the trees
Through the narrow path that leads to gate of existence
The trail in the snow that only few will ever find
This path I follow breathe the life in my worn out soul

I shall remember
The scars that will remain
Return to sender
Feel like I became insane
Prevailing apathy
I will resist the flow
Thin line of loyalty
That in my heart I know
I walk into the unknown
Away from it all

6. Snowstorm

...It all began with light snow...
Hear the wind under the door
On the roof, under the floor
I feel the fright before this sight
Starlit night has turned to white
From the distance I can hear
A roar that's coming – for me

I fly over moonlit woods
In the eye of thundering snowstorm

...those trees look small from a far...
Through the wind and thundering
I hear a vague sound of wings
Bricks and planks all around
The cabin fallen to the ground
I look the ruins of the wreck
And there I lie – dead!

I fly over moonlit woods
In the eye of thundering snowstorm

7. Cold And Barren Land

Nightfall – the stars shining bright
Light of the moon glow on the hills
All around the wilderness with its cold charm
I caress the feeling with open heart

Nightfall – gleam of northern lights
Snowfall – embrace the frozen night

I stare at the flames of the fuming fire
Casting its soothing warmth into the night

Cold and barren land
Of ice and snow
My heart filled with admiration
Cold and barren land
So beautiful
I look at awe of this creation

I lay myself on the frozen spruce twig bed
Soon I close my eyes to sleep at/on/in the snow

Nightfall – gleam of northern lights
Snowfall – embrace the frozen night

I stare at the flames of the fuming fire
Casting its soothing warmth into the night

I stare at the flames of the fuming fire
Mountains like guardians watching my sleep

8. Northern Star

Cold wind moves behind the row of tall pine trees
Makes them sigh, just like they could breathe
Northern lights – the green of sky
The feel of night – I stare in its eyes!

I look over the tree line in the night and see you there

Northern star – I've lost my way
And have myself to blame
Northern star – thou far you are
I see you – I see you there
See you there

Deeper in the northern landscape of snow
Eyes of night fade away in your glow
All this time I have felt the void deep inside
In my soul, waiting for your light

Northern star – I've lost my way
And have myself to blame
Northern star – thou far you are
I see you – I see you there

I look over the tree line in the night and see you there

Northern star – I've lost my way
And have myself to blame
Northern star – thou far you are
I see you – I see you there
See you there

9. The Grave Of A Poet

On a cold evening I give my regards,
I stand in snow next to the tomb.
Lying under a spruce tree and those stars,
As the one who shines, in this world is doomed

For those who have wisdom,
Will be killed by those who have none

Through the porticos of life, I caress the memory.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.
Forms of art as variation of immortality.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.

I can leave, turn my head, turn my back and still I hear,
Still I know, still I feel those touching words.
Absurd to claim there is nothing after here,
Denial of vision makes your own life blurred.

For those who have wisdom,
Will be killed by those who have none

Through the porticos of life, I caress the memory.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.
Forms of art as variation of immortality.
The feel of loss has passed as I stare the grave of a poet.

10. Solitude

Staring at the fire
Against the night
In my solitude

I withdraw into woods
Under the night
I alone with my thoughts
Keeping me warm

Feeding – the bonfire – in pale moon light
Close my eyes – to listen – the sound of night

In my solitude – staring at the fire
In my solitude – I alone
In my solitude – my thoughts become alive
In my solitude – I as one

Staring at the fire
Against the night
Watch the flames grow higher
Keeping me warm

Feeding – the bonfire – in pale moon light
Close my eyes – to listen – the sound of night

In my solitude – staring at the fire
In my solitude – I alone
In my solitude – my thoughts become alive
In my solitude – I as one

In my solitude
Staring at the fire
Against the night
I grow complete
In my solitude

Feeding – the bonfire – in pale moon light
Close my eyes – to listen – the sound of night

In my solitude – staring at the fire
In my solitude – I alone
In my solitude – my thoughts become alive
In my solitude – I as one
