The Embrace Of Winter - Gates of Ishtar

Darkness fell on winter skies
Daylight died 
As the fullmoon rose
Winds were cold 
And the trees were bare
The shadows danced 
On the mirrorware
Days were night 
When the sun had failed
The silence ruled, 
No sound appeared
Freezing moon 
Shined everywhere
I felt so cold, 
The end was near

Everlasting winter, 
Frostwinds rode the skies
Neverending darkness, 
Until fire walks the earth

Cold winds of darkness, 
Give me shelter from daylight
Winter, embrace me 
And hide me from morning
