Nature's Lament (The White Wolf)

She's okay
- Her crystallized tears
Stashed beneath her skirts

(Her cold breath)
It's quivering
A string of sixteenth notes
Over the roots of
A fallen tree
Cracked bark
Decaying leaves

Oh, dear Mr. Winter
Have you come to warm her soul?
Even if frost creeps around her
And her lips turn blue
She's still here, waiting for you

Oh, dear Mr. Wolf
Have you come to save her soul?
Even if you bare your fangs for her
And fear runs you through
She's still here, waiting for you

(Her icy eyes)
They're glistening
A frozen landscape
Where the creatures
Are finding paradise
Nighttime sonatas
Moonlit flowers

She's okay
- Her stone heart
Learning to beat again
