The Cold Wind Blows

from Why Do You Hate Me With Your Love? by Nilo Crow

lyrics

The cold wind blows,
The cold wind blows, let go,
A whisper yells let go.
And the cold, still the cold, feel the cold wind blow,
Let go, don’t turn around, let go.

I can’t collapse, forwards I can’t.
I turn to stone, let go.
And The Cold Wind Blows.

Afar a bell rings doom from long forgotten,
I’m prisoned tells her secret spell.
And I recall the past, what’s long been gone,
What slipped my hands
Into the abyss

Still haunts me in my dreams.
Move – it drives my aching bones
Forwards.
Step by step.

And someday you’ll fly cause some day you are grown
That’s what they teach you till their corpses grow cold.
And you tried but it’s done yet still nothing’s for sure
And still nothing but The Cold Wind Blows.

And you grow and you grow and your heart’s like a stone
And it’s gone, yes, it’s gone and they say you are done.
You are down on the floor, yet the ink ain’t dry,
No, it ain’t, but the whole world still shouts.

And you wake and then suddenly you are old,
Someday will be dead, still their spells resonate in your bones,
Just remember their names but their gone and you’re nothing
But a shade.

A silhouette that remembers each day but what is it that you miss the most?
You’re a ghost, you’re a shade.
Still The Cold Wind Blows.
And you live in the past.

How long? Too long.
Belong to hell.
But who still stays so, so close to me?

My shame, your wrath echoes like thunder.
The cold wind blows.

Still The Cold Wind Blows.

Nilo Crow Munich, Germany

"Where were you when the Thunder came, the everlasting storm? And when they disappeared again, this nothingness was born.
Your days are dark, your nights are bright – but mine they are both grey."
And so a man walks down the road, with nothing on his mind.
"So who are you?" – and he replies: "I told you, I don't know. I've lost my voice, I've dropped my words, the melody of rain." ... more
