Daughter of the Snow

from Hell Kisses The Earth by The Reckoning

/

lyrics

V1:
The sun cast its glare over the bloodstained land
Hundreds of men lay dead all around
Through the icy drifts and dead I wandered
Desolate figure leaving trails in the snow
Last man standing, I was weary and drawn
The fury of battle had taken its toll
A laugh sliced through the frost bitten air
Before me stood a maiden with bright golden hair

V2:
Whiter than the pure, undriven snow
Naked save for a light gossamer veil
Her cruel laugh beckoned to follow where she ran
Dazzled, my lust now fuelled aching limbs
Across desolate plains of white I chased her
As the blinding sun beat down on the snow
I ran but she stayed beyond my reach 'til
Two axe bearing figures arose, a trap I did meet

V3:
She danced in between the two giant men
"Brothers I have brought you a fool to slay"
With rage, I hacked the leg off the first
The second I left with a half severed neck
Alone now, she cowered bewteen the two dead men
I pulled her to me lest she started to run
Her ivory flesh was as cold as the snow
Now this beguiling young temptress was mine

V4:
She writhed in my grasp as I kissed her cold lips
A desperate cry and she slipped from my arms
I watched as she held her arms straight to the sky
Enveloped by a cold, blue flame she was gone
Surrounded by my kinsmen, at last I awoke
They tended my wounds as I told them my tale
None would believe what I said 'til they saw
There in my hand, the light gossamer veil
