Frostglass Serenade 2 (versión 2)

Verse

Shattered glass on the river's mouth (glass on the ice)

I found my voice in every broken tooth

Frostbite in my veins, but I keep the flame alive

Every morning I wake up to the same grey sky

My family gone down, but I won't let them die

The cold is patient, it waits for the weak to fold

So I wrap my scar around me like a shield of gold

I learned to play the fiddle from the one who's dead (fiddle on the ice)

He taught me how to make the strings say what's unsaid

Now every night the wolves come to listen at my door

They hear the music speaking words they'll never ask for

The wind is bitter, it cuts like a knife through bone (frost in my throat)

But I keep playing on until the sun comes alone

I play for the ones who can't leave this earth behind (play for the living)

For every winter that took everything we had in mind

Pre-Chorus

I know that someday spring will come and warm this place

And maybe then I won't be singing out of anger's space

But until then, let the frost take all my pain away

Because when the music speaks, nobody asks what day

I was born to freeze on this thin ice so fine (ice so fine)

With nothing left but my voice and these strings that align

Chorus

Frostglass serenade for a dying world outside (dying light)

Hold every note until it's the only sound I can find

Frostglass serenade for the ones who don't belong here (fading breath)

Keep the melody alive, keep my people from disappearing now

I won't let go of this fiddle till they come back to me (hold the line)

Not when every night the wolves stand guard at my knee

So I sing them home through the frost and through the dark (pulling light through ice)

Verse

My mother used to play these same old tunes on the porch swing (porch swing memory)

I'd dance with her until the streetlights came up, bright and wide

She said our stories were the only warmth we ever had in town

So I keep singing them for every child who's never seen the sun

Every window is a mirror to a thousand past regrets (frozen tears on glass)

But every note I play, it shatters one more of those cold locks

I know that someday they'll walk through the door with their hands open wide

And when they do, this song will burn like wildfire in the night

Pre-Chorus

I know that someday spring will come and warm this place

And maybe then I won't be singing out of anger's space

But until then, let the frost take all my pain away

Because when the music speaks, nobody asks what day

I was born to freeze on this thin ice so fine (ice so fine)

With nothing left but my voice and these strings that align

Chorus

Frostglass serenade for a dying world outside (dying light)

Hold every note until it's the only sound I can find

Frostglass serenade for the ones who don't belong here (fading breath)

Keep the melody alive, keep my people from disappearing now

I won't let go of this fiddle till they come back to me (hold the line)

Not when every night the wolves stand guard at my knee
