Buried where the Earth wears its crown

Shelter of ice

Scraped coffin

Screen from prying eyes

Die Eisstadt

Visions of ivory towers

Glaring palaces and ever flowing streams

Infinite passages, translucent halls

Where songs were sung at dawn

Die Eisstadt

Burrow and torture

Nest and grave

Gazing at the magnificent skies

Through a ceiling of glass

A shield built by seasons

A firmament of faint pale light

Die Eisstadt

Burrow and torture

An hide where the wind is warmer

Closer to the core of the mountain

Where Nature cares and keeps

Adorning with jewels of ice

Colonnades lit by chandeliers

Not built to last!
