Bearing weight of mountains of grief on my soul
Silent waters rise as the nightmares unfold
Forever shrouded lies my universe
And frozen the fields of my heart
Severance
Burning images of truth forgotten haunt my days
Fractured memories, surrendered all my hopes and ways
Feeding the demon, how can I live with this stone in my breast,
I can feel the wind turn north-northwest
When did this start, how will this end, what horrid future lies around the bend
(I) brace myself against the onslaught of the dark
Please return to thaw the insides of my heart
With fear I grasp the cramped and severed cord
And try to find my way back home to the lord
Severance
cold sweat dews mourning dawn
Severance
I cry of all my hopes forlorn
...and night comes whispering to me, the cold hands of temptation they poison my soul
