lyrics

Winter’s grip has gone from this land
But it’s not gone from my heart
Broken bones and broken hearts
All we have to show
Some kind of Fimbulwinter’s curse
Cast on all our lives
This is how we come into this world
Is this how we’ll die?
But we’re holding on
Holding on
Holding onto a candle
“O, protect us from the dark!”
with a tiny hope a flame can be kindled
From this ember’s spark
When I kissed you the last time
Sure that it would end
I was holding onto hope
To feel something true again
This winter is a lover
O, a lover spurning our heart
Holding on to the hope
We’ll not forever be apart
We are holding on
Holding on
We leave this world screaming
Screaming to the abyss
What was all the struggle and pain for?
Was there just some point we missed?
Why are we holding so tightly
To the things we know won’t last?
Clinging to the future
And looking to the past
We are holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on...
