Intro

Acoustic guitar intro, slow and somber

Heavy slow drums enter with a distorted guitar swell

Verse 1

The hearth is cold, the room is still

Your shadow lingers on the hill

I sweep the dust of yesterday

And watch the colors fade to gray

I tried to hold the dying spark

But now I walk into the dark

No other name will cross my lips

I choose the silence and the eclipse

Chorus

And I will stand alone, a fortress made of stone

No second love will mend what has been overthrown

Let the cold wind blow, let the rivers freeze

I bury my heart beneath the leafless trees

An empty throne, I'm better off alone
