I will sing the ice choir, oh transient defeat. Lifeless world, my heart aches like the wind through empty streets ♪ Spared of good tidings, not dressed in ribbons of gold I'm gathering winter's gifts untold A vibrating crystal; frost-whipped and singing through air Wait not for me love, i won't be there Feel now for the heartbeat, feel now for the pulse Look now, brittle treetops, look now, frozen pond... (Can you see yourself?) I will sing the ice choir, oh transient defeat Lifeless world, my heart aches like the wind through empty streets ♪ Crushed and degraded, and mapped to the black and the white Descending like snow, O' holy night You were the whisper, beside the hardening fear; We'll melt to the language of the spheres Feel now for the heartbeat, feel now for the pulse Look now, brittle treetops, look now, frozen pond... (Can you see yourself?) I have joined the ice choir Contracted in the cold I will sing the aria when all the birds have flown ♪ Now we are the ice choir In hibernating pose To listen for the crack of spring or push against the rose... ♪ (Can you see yourself?)
