Sleep now my child We will rest tonight I am your shelter From the storm outside There is no sadness In our song tonight So until tomorrow Say goodnight
At dawn, all I see is darkness Deep snow surrounds the house And there's no getting out
For days, we're trapped inside this fortress The doors are frozen locked The windows icy blocks
I know we won't get out tomorrow It seems our freedom's taken Replaced by desperation
And as the weeks go by in sorrow We watch each other starve And I prepare to carve
At a month's demand Our supply surpassed My secret plan A grim repast
A chance to stay alive In this world of frozen light Hate to see the hunger In your eyes Take a piece from me Even though I'm weakening You will be alive Another night
It might be insane But there's no other way Only one can survive So I'll keep you alive
Ignoring the pain I try to sustain I hope you don't see That I'm feeding you… me
Sleep now my child I will keep you warm Don't let your spirits Be buried by the storm Just close your eyes Don't want you to see Why you keep living How much I bleed
So with this knife I give you life
This is the last time Come take my heart Just as the sunshine Comes to melt the dark
Last meal is given The child is fed Now the sun is risen And I am dead
A chance to stay alive In this world of frozen light I took away the hunger From your eyes It was all in secrecy But in piece by piece of me I have given you Another life
