Ashes to Ashes
And Snow to Snow
That is the only place
I have to go.
I ran and
I sang and
I laughed and
I played
Like any child
Of those days;
Play hide-and-seek
Catch me!
I'll run away
Try to touch me
You must
Try again!
Ashes to Ashes and
Snow to Snow
That is the only place
I have to go.
Run away
Hide away
Don't let them
Catch me!
I couldn't beat
The horsemen
Invading my country;
Captured and
Caged I tried
To get away;
Not 'till I'd grown
Did I again see day.
Ashes to Ashes and
Snow to Snow
That is the only place
I have to go
There's nothing left
Of the child in me,
Nothing remains
But its cruelty.
Catch me!
I'll kill you
Invade—
No mercy!
Call me names
If you want
Just survival, you see.
Ashes to Ashes and
Snow to Snow
That is the only place
I have to go.
Hell doesn't burn
It is frozen and white!
Screams and gunfire
Sound through the night.
Everything's the same
Only I have changed—
Winter's my king
Yet now
I'm insane~!
Ashes to ashes and
Snow to snow
That was the only place
I had to go.
Ashes to ashes and
Snow to snow
Pain is the last thing
You'll ever know!
Ashes to ashes and
Snow to snow…
A scar, not a heart,
Is all I have to show.
