A lifeline in a drop of blood
A dying wish to shun a God
Sought a dream inside the light
Finally relieved from plight
O this night is deceiving
One eternal Winter
Earth below and reeling
Moon is riding high
Father and a liar
One forgotten season
Secrets in the mire
Moon is riding high
Aligning
A name inside a memory
Waiting for you
When words can't win her love
There is nothing to do
Save your children
Drenched in poverty
Tracks in the snow
Leading them to woe
