[Verse 1]
And I cry and no one can hear, inhale
The blinded eyes that see the chaos
Bring the pitiful to me
Even though I'm wide-awake, I will
And blackest night and I wait for you
It's cold in here, there's no one left
And I wait for you
And nothing stops it happening
And I knew, I'd cherish all my misery alone
[Chorus]
And I wait, staring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
He's so cold, he will ruin the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
[Verse 2]
And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried 'cause you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that's cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude
They run to the pines
It's black in here, blot out the sun
And run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And I knew, the fire and the ashes of his grace
[Chorus]
And I wait, staring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you very far
He's so cold, he will win the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Feel their hearts, they're cold and white
[Bridge]
And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
I'll tear his heart out, cold as ice
It's mine
[Chorus]
And I wait, praying to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold, raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And I pray, begging to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
Feel their hearts, they're cold as ice
