Velvet and Alpine Snow

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold wind sweeps the stone
I sit here all alone
Frost on my velvet gown
Looking at the sleeping town
Three winters have gone by
Since I let you fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Cracked stained glass shows the moon
My cold heart beats too slow
Summer ended way too soon
Buried in the alpine snow
[Chorus]
I spared your beating heart
And tore my world apart
Now the frozen roses bloom
Inside this empty tomb
I watch the ages fade
To the promise that we made
[Post-Chorus]
Still I wait for you
Under skies of icy blue
Still I wait for you
Under skies of icy blue
[Verse]
Your footprints in the white
Vanished in the night
I could have taken all
Behind this castle wall
But mercy stayed my hand
In this forgotten land
[Pre-Chorus]
Cracked stained glass shows the moon
My cold heart beats too slow
Summer ended way too soon
Buried in the alpine snow
[Chorus]
I spared your beating heart
And tore my world apart
Now the frozen roses bloom
Inside this empty tomb
I watch the ages fade
To the promise that we made
[Bridge]
Forever is a heavy crown
When every empire crumbles down
I outlive the ones I crave
From the cradle to the grave
Just a ghost upon the peak
For the warmth I cannot seek
[Chorus]
I spared your beating heart
And tore my world apart
Now the frozen roses bloom
Inside this empty tomb
I watch the ages fade
To the promise that we made
[Outro]
