This song is Nomi’s rendition of a stanza from the third act of the 1691 opera King Arthur, written by Henry Purcell & John Dryden. It has no particular title in the original, but is sung by the Cold Genius, hence its title.
What power art thou?
Who from below
Hast made me rise?
Unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow!
See'st thou not how stiff
And wondrous old?
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold...
I can scarcely move
Or draw my breath
I can scarcely move
Or draw my breath
Let me, let me
Let me, let me
Freeze again...
Let me, let me
Freeze again to death!
The Cold Song was written by John Dryden & Henry Purcell.
The Cold Song was produced by Ron Johnsen.
