[Verse 1]
We were born to brave cold weather
Stormy seas in search of treasure
Light you wield must blind another
Doomed to run forevermore
[Chorus 1]
How much more can I take?
And how much more, 'till I break?
[Verse 2]
Rain will pour again today
Never-ending daze cascades
Torn inside is there a way
To be freed before I fade
[Chorus 2]
How much longer can I hold?
I'll live no longer in this cold!
[Bridge]
Close your eyes, what do you see
Dreams in rhyme with reality
Or life to die in black scenery
Empty shells and what could be
[Chorus 1]
How much more can I take?
And how much more, 'till I break?
[Chorus 2]
How much longer can I hold?
I'll live no longer in this cold!
[Outro]
In this cold!
I'll live no longer in this, this cold
Oh!
In this cold!
