I'mmortal (Immortal) - Snowdancing lyrics

Snowdancing

Possesses my soul.

I am slipping

On the snow.

My blue heart

Is white with horror.

My sweet dream's

A dream of sorrow.

I wish

I were not an owl -

Keen and strong

Until the dawn.

My fear

Will disappear

When I know

That the night is near.

But I'm shot

By a fatal arrow,

A sniggering gnome's

Caught in the snow.

He's sneering me down,

His mind snow-bound,

He is my lot,

A snake in the snow.

His smouldering soul's

Smothering my hope.

Smiting me with horror

He's getting in my road.

But still snowdancing

Is everywhere around.

The snow's falling down,

It's touching the ground.

It reigns in the world,

It's whirling about.

It's reinless like a wild horse,

It's soft as down.

It says:

"I'm so close,

But you cannot see me,

You hear my coming

While your body's dreaming..."
