Ice Queen

Mother Earth

[Verse 1] When leaves have fallen and skies turned to grey The night keeps on closing in on the day A nightingale sings his song of farewell You better hide for her freezing hell [Pre-Chorus] On cold wings, she's coming, you better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale Come on, just feel it, don't you see it? Well, you better believe it [Verse 2] When she embraces, your heart turns to stone She comes at night when you're all alone And when she whispers, your blood shall run cold You better hide before she finds you [Chorus] Whenever she is raging, she takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen the ruins of our world? Whenever she is raging, she takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen the ruins of our world? [Verse 3] She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak The sun awakes and melts it away The world now opens its eyes and sees The dawning of a new day [Pre-Chorus] On cold wings, she's coming, you better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing, nightingale Come on, just feel it, don't you see it? Well, you better believe it [Chorus] Whenever she is raging, she takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen the ruins of our world? Whenever she is raging, she takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen the ruins of our world?
