When winter melts away and spring has come
Choking down that thawing ice pill
it was one two three four five and six, you know
Six when you’re above and six below

Chorus: riding in on the blooming springtime sun



Under winter, under snow, under your skin
(and you thought you could never love a barren land)

Although his touch might chill you to the bone
Be brave and you just may find
That ice isn’t as cold when you’re not alone
And winter isn’t so bad when he’s home

Chorus

Bridge: when the blazing whiteness burns your eyes


And the perfume of flowers makes you cry



It’s best to admit it, too easy to lie



Your heart has been frozen, crystallized
( and you thought you could never love a barren land)

Working on tracks for my EP, I started to toy with the idea of using characters from mythology. This was one result of those musings.
