Down The Icefall Songtext
von Final Cry

Unfolding the veils of the nightwind
Crawl through the unfathomed halls
Shadows sweep over cold bodies
Vanished before darkness falls

Down, down the Icefall
White fields of frost
Cover the paths
We have to walk to the last

Echo our call from the summit
A diamond we shaped in the cold
Tighten the rope with a clenched fist
Strong breast gaining powers to hold


Steps leading down to the abyss
Further along through the haze
White crystals rubbed into eyeballs
Lids frozen for a last gaze

Down, down the Icefall
White fields of frost
Cover the paths
We have to walk to the last

Stumbling blind through the snow storm
Like towers of marble we quake
The mountains will cover our prayers
With blankets of scree for our sake

Icicles on our grey eyebrows
A jewel we take to our grave
The blizzards will sing of our triumph
As we pass through portals of the brave


Down, down the Icefall
White fields of frost
Cover the paths
We have to walk to the last
