Land of the Cold and the Perennial Night Lyrics

Up above, into a black sky
Pale stars shine, in a winter night

The moonlight deceives my eyes
A light into the dark, that fades more and more
Illusion of never-ending dream
That slowly kills hopes, foretelling the advent of death.

Frozen lake, deep and dark
Surrounded by a creepy silence

You, mirror on the Earth
That lie true and wise, reflecting a sad, old world
Full of the tears of a faraway sky
Who rest patient, since this was a free land

The old forest beneath the stars
Far and black in the night
The blowing wind shakes treetops
A pure and living essence, who cries for whom the end has come

Far beyond the great mountains, far away
Over the land of the cold and the perennial night

Mountains high, great and wild
Your snowy peaks touch the sky

Beyond the highest clouds
Where only black birds fly and none could hope to reach
Watching over fields and woods, that time cannot corrode
Ancient like the Earth

Great rivers flowing fast and free
Running through wild woods and vast lands
With your loud yet calm voice
Take away thoughts and worries, even if only for one moment
