Dead calm 

Raining all over me 

Too late 

Sense of mortality 

Dark skies 

Threaten to swallow me 

Down to the flame 

While my flesh and my bone melt away 

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice 

With the power of your hand 

On the crack in the ice 


Men 

Raped and discarded 

Are left dead 

The vultures will feed on them 

Lost cause 

Tearing this life apart 

Thrown to the flame 

While my flesh and my bone melt away 


I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice 

With the power of your hand 

On the crack in the ice 


Take this moment so close to my heart 

You held the white rose out 

Just before we parted 

Take this moment so far away in dreams 

I can feel the thorns bite 

But the flower died, it seems 


Hold this feeling so close to my heart 

You brought the passion out 

Just before we parted 

Hold this feeling so far away in dreams 

I can feel the thorns bite 

But the flower starts to bleed 


I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice 

With the power of your hand 

On the crack in the ice
