And icy hand makes its way down
To the unsuspecting outsider
It’s freezing fingers sending shivers down the spine
As frostbite closes in

To the unsuspecting outsider
The frozen fractals freeze their skin
As frostbite closes in
It cuts through coats like knives

The frozen fractals freeze their skin
Breath comes out as smoke
It cuts through coats like knives
A blinding storm, no exit to see

Breath comes out as smoke
Your hair turns white, your skin turns blue
A blinding storm, no exit to see
No point in moving, no place to go

Your hair turns white, your skin turns blue
Collapsing in exhaustion from moving against the forces
No point in moving, no place to go
A numbness cuts through the cold

Collapsing in exhaustion from moving against the forces
Your hair turns white, your skin turns blue
A numbness cuts through the cold
And icy hand makes its way down
