Long Winter Lyrics


I watch the dark dull sky

The clouds still thick

There’s silence everywhere

It’s snowing once more

My vision’s getting dizzy

Breath white with cold

White it is the path too

My steps are so heavy

I’m treading on this snowfield

Stumbling at every step

I realize that I have been left alone

My fellows’ tracks have all disappeared

Alone I am on this silent snowfield

Still I must tread, on and on, must tread

Where am I going, I just wonder?

The life I long to return to, it is no more

No where

And the winter keeps on flaying

-- at length it does it --

And the snow drains on my strength and will

Just confusion and shivering for me

In this white darkness

I just need to go right through

I see my frozen cold

Almost numbed hands

This winter, it found me

Thoroughly unprepared

My present darkened by

Flaws of my past

Can turn back

No longer

Oh No, no more

Suddenly, 'midst the clouds,

A white ray does show up

And with it, for a moment

A slight hope

If I resist,

All the freezing might stop

Perhaps the ordeal is gone

May be

Yet this winter stays on seemingly eternal

While the snow drains strength and will

A white darkness that confuses an’ makes me shiver

But I must keep going through

A long winter keeps on flaying

At length it does it

Piercing coldness that haunts me

With no hope left,

I just have to keep on wandering

Through so noble, though vain Snowfield
