Kappaleen sanat
(A1)
could you tell me
which is worse
the end
or the wait for it
i was not unlike the rest
i too failed the test
the attempt to find warmth
in this frozen world
awaiting my demise
i have time to revise
tell my story
in a way I please
but what to say
and whom to
abandoned in the icy plains
only the wind as my company
(chorus)
buried in the snow
the coldness takes my breath away
the battle lost
i'm gone
i'm freezing to death!
covered in ice
the coldness kills my heart beat
i tried
i failed (died)
i'm freezing to death!
(A2)
if i tell you my story
will you let me live
if you know my face
will you let me breathe
we could be friends
no hostility there
i'll just leave
and you won't follow
to avoid this fate
i'll do what it takes
i'll sell my soul
to the icy storm
to save my life
i'll even converse
with the unforgiving breeze
and the enclosing death
(chorus)
(C)(spoken)
isn't there something truly magnificient
in the way a proper blizzard lays waste
to so many human lives?
The death, the misery, the total agony,
what a perversely fascinating slideshow
of poor human fates!
(D1)
mind broken, body dying
nothing left but a final attempt
no other escape from the
tormenting breeze
you tried, you tried, you tried
there's nothing left
no way to reason with death
light fading, hope in vain
everything is for nothing
you'll shout your pleas
to non-existing ears
you'll die, you'll die, you'll die
there's nothing left
no way to evade your end
(A3)
but wait, no
i don't want to go
what's the need,
to do this deed?
i want to be warm again,
can't we still bargain?
i'll give all i have
just let me flee
are there no terms
with which to survive
am i to perish
in your kingdom
are you truly
without compassion
determined to reap
my withered life?
(D2)
mind broken, body dying
nothing left but a failed attempt
no way to hide from the
tormenting breeze
you tried, you tried, you tried
there's nothing left
no way to reason with death
light gone, hope in vain
everything was for nothing
you shouted your pleas
to non-existing ears
you're dead, you're dead, you're dead
there's nothing left
no way to evade your end
the spark lost, the flame burned out,
nothing left but coldness
no trace of the futile struggle
you tried to uphold
you died, you died, you died
there's nothing left
but a sorry frozen carcass
the will slain, life extinguished
everything set to zero
no breath left
to even utter your final words
you died, you died, you died
there's nothing left
but a sorry blackened corpse
could you tell me
which is worse
the end
or the wait for it
i was not unlike the rest
i too failed the test
the attempt to find warmth
in this frozen world
awaiting my demise
i have time to revise
tell my story
in a way I please
