The gods watched in silence
As winter devoured my people
And sickness claimed my wife
I begged, I bled, I believed, and still, nothing
If salvation lies beyond the world
Beyond the reach of heaven
Then I will walk there, even if faith itself must die
Another Winter claws the door
Fields lie bare, no grave once more
I came with fire to these mountains' stones
Met gentle hearts and found my own
They placed their faith in me, every quarrel, vow and tear
They listened in the hall, opened up their fears
And right there, by the candle's flame
I saw her passing be and forgot my own name
And the storm began to beat so loud
Her once golden hair just fades and fades
Rings fall lose from wasted hands
Time ignored holy commands
If gods can hear, they turned away
Or test my faith beyond decay
Beyond the edge of time
I will cross the line
No God, no fear shall chain my soul
For love into the depths I'll go
Let the madness come
Let the heavens burn
For her I fall, for her I stand
With faith in hand
Three stood wet with snow and pain
A warrior spoke of myth made flesh
Take this gift, but hear me true
The cave will not come back with you
Moonlight drips like sacred wine
Color crawls through the love of mine
Leave me now, the night must know
The prayer I'll never let go
Beyond the edge of time
I will cross the line
No God, no fear shall chain my soul
For love into the depths I'll go
Please remember me, oh
When the songs are gone
When winter reigns and hope goes by
For her I could die
No prayers followed me into the dark, only her name
And if this path ends beyond the gods
Then let them know: I chose love
