I can hear
A faint breeze
An avalanche whispering
Maybe in this tender breath was I mistaken for a human being
I can see an autumn so pale
Hanging from skeleton trees
Maybe I embodied a departing bird
But I found myself

With no wings and no reason
Departing from a land of recognition

This house will become my winter garden
Bury dreams and hopes with undying mistakes
And wish for this cold redemption

I can feel
The northern winds
Already caressing my heart
They sing and shelter
The sky to my soul's premonition
A solitude heavy with stars of resemblance
Will shield me in the snow from bliss and defeat alike

This house will become my winter garden
Bury dreams and hopes with undying mistakes
And wish for this cold redemption

And just like endings flow
Until new beginnings arise
In this frost journey I might find rest

This house will become my winter garden
Bury dreams and hopes with undying mistakes
This house will become my winter garden
Bury dreams and hopes with undying mistakes
And wish for this cold redemption

Winter Garden

Chaque jour je ferai de ma nuit une prière
Où accueillir de grandes amours
Mais je ne les espérerai pas de toi
Je ferai couver sous mon refuge
Les rêves arrachés d'hier
Sans connaître leur incarnation future

Je persévérerai
À travers l'hiver
Où ma force est enterrée comme
Une floraison espérée
Je persévérerai
À travers l'hiver
Où ma force est enterrée comme
Une floraison espérée

Chaque jour j'ouvrirai les ailes
En espérant cueillir le vent tentant un saut de foi
Je porterai en moi
Le flambeau d'empires
Dont les ruines ont peuplé ma vie
Sans m'offusquer du recommencement
Ni me lasser d'un nouveau destin

Je persévérerai
À travers l'hiver
Où ma force est enterrée comme
Une floraison espérée
Je persévérerai
À travers l'hiver
Où ma force est enterrée comme
Une floraison espérée

Chaque jour où il me sera plus difficile
De sonder mes rêves que mes démons
J'amenderai en moi une verte patience
Je suivrai le cycle vivant du monde
À ces oasis que j'imagine
Je ferai don d'un sanctuaire

Floraison

The first day of winter
Is a grace only dance can catch
But still you stand captive
In the virtue of wounds that passed
Snow made of flesh
You carry her in your bones
She whom left you
To the uncertainty of silence

I breathe earth and sky alike
And you are the mountain
A man of many names
Still unknown to himself
I reach for the higher ground
And look down on the mountain
Maybe this sacred land
Might hide your broken heart

A soul that delicate
Might melt under the sun
So with every stolen dream
You're crowned with eternal winter
With nothing left to protect
But the height of your righteousness
Crumbs of an avalanche
Which has left you disgraced

I breathe earth and sky alike
And you are the mountain
A man of many names
Still unknown to himself
I reach for the higher ground
And look down on the mountain
Maybe this sacred land
Might hide your broken heart

Fire asleep
Frozen peak, winds of gale, snow adrift
Daring climb
Diamonds falling
Fire asleep
Frozen peak, winds of gale, snow adrift
Daring climb
Diamonds falling

I breathe earth and sky alike
And you are the mountain
A man of many names
Still unknown to himself
I reach for the higher ground
And look down on the mountain
Maybe this sacred land
Might hide your broken heart

Mountain

Waking up from a dream
I can barely remember
Holding on this feel
Wish it could last forever

As the fog is clearing and
My arm reaches for her
Holding on this fear
Memories slip through my fingers

Curtains fall and all the stage comes crashing down
Stuck inside the ruins of a frozen sound
Who am I?

Heavy rain behind my eyes
Quelling my breath again
Praying I could find
How I could rise and repent

Curtains fall and all the stage comes crashing down
Stuck inside the ruins of a frozen sound

Dwelling on my shadow
Wishing it would fade away but
It grows from my sorrow
Am I dreaming awake

Curtains fall and all the stage comes crashing down
Stuck inside the ruins of a frozen sound
Curtains fall and all the stage comes crashing down
Stuck inside the ruins of a frozen sound
Who am I?

Dreamscape

Don’t mind me and carry on
Let it be and I’ll be gone
From the start I’ve been a burden
Now my heart won’t bleed, it’s frozen
As you flee and bring our dawn
I won’t plea that I’m the one
Here the air is thin, I’m floating
One last time I breathe eyes open

My path leads to isolation
Plains of ice led me to this relation
With shadows contained
By your light tamed
A while

You were so quick to move on
For your swift spirit a happy song
Turned our dreams to separation
And my heart again to isolation

My path leads to isolation
Plains of ice led me to this relation
With shadows contained
By your light tamed
A while

Grief might become inspiring
In this winter of stiff endings
A passage of white shades
For your memory to fade
Where I live to find within
A void landscape to fulfill
So this loneliness I am feeling
Too shall pass

My path leads to isolation
Plains of ice led me to this relation
With shadows contained
By your light tamed
A while

Isolation

A night soft as the ruin of fall
When your scent was lost
A landscape foreseen I should not have found
A touch-painted daydream
Fragile siege to my urge to run
A lonely candle I should pray to endure

And my soul
A butterfly
Wanders so high, high
And my heart
A silent choir
Wishes to escape hope's demise

A conversation tender as a shelter
Where I rejoice in humanity
A glance has changed and
The past was lost
A denial of instinct
Beside all of the closed doors of life
A joy like a cathedral on fire

And my soul
A butterfly
Wanders so high, high
And my heart
A silent choir
Wishes to escape hope's demise
And my soul
A butterfly
Wanders so high, high
And my heart
A silent choir
Wishes to escape hope's demise

On a date with my broken heart
Again interrupted by a crisis
Wounds to tend to, carrying time and space
Another age in this world
I happened upon
A foreign beauty
To get haunted by
A memory

Demise

As I sigh once again
Brume leaks out
Isolation weaves a veil
I could not live without
As I sigh once again

High above, blind to what's below me
Adrift endlessly
I never thought that you’d rise before me
A flare so bright, that I can’t flee

These eyes reveal
A glacier melting through my heart
Its echoes reaching the north star
These eyes reveal
My river of ice

As I breath once again
Light flows in
Aspiration tears the veil
I forever kept within
As I breath once again

High above, drawn to what's within me
Shining endlessly
I never thought that you’d rise before me
A flare so bright, that I can’t flee

These eyes reveal
A glacier melting through my heart
Its echoes reaching the north star
These eyes reveal
My river of ice

These eyes reveal
A glacier melting through my heart
Its echoes reaching the north star
These eyes reveal
My river of ice

River of Ice

Against this frozen maze
I am helpless
Leaving is pointless
Yet I can’t help to gaze

In my cold reflection
Through this clouded glass
I’m facing both directions
Hoping time’ll pass
And take me back
To where it all began and
Take me where
The stars could still be found


Doubt and angst oh my old friends
I won’t escape you this time
It seems like it all finally ends
This cliff is to steep for me to climb
It’s time for me to embrace the fall
I have to heal all my frostbites

Chasing down elation
The day is fading fast
I burn to my salvation but it couldn’t last
Nor take me back
To where it all began and
Take me where
The stars could still be found


Doubt and angst oh my old friends
I won’t escape you this time
It seems like it all finally ends
This cliff is to steep for me to climb
It’s time for me to embrace the fall
I have to heal all my frostbites

I feel like a wildfire
A storm has long kept hidden
Inside a frozen choir
Waiting for the spring
Doubt and angst oh my old friends
I won’t escape you this time
It seems like it all finally ends
This cliff is to steep for me to climb
It’s time for me to embrace the fall
I have to heal all my frostbites
