[verse 1]
our footsteps are naked, retreating to hide
in the ruins of some place she came from
her eyes fleeting quickly, not resting upon
the empty streets that surround her
with the signs in the distance
aging but bright
facing the winds of the winter
with the sky melting slowly on pillars of stones
there is a cry in the air of the frightened

[verse 2]
his words softly strangled still hangs in her pain
though the years are now far between them
there’s a ghost in some shelter his uniform stained
in vain, reaching to touch her
with the flash of the gunfire, splitting the night
tearing the soul from his future
with the words of some promise, ingrained in his mind
he lay as the wild snows fell freely

[bridge]
and now are you sleeping?
with the stillness of death in the air
oh where are you sleeping?

[verse 3]
her gaze in remembrance is watching the fall
of the fresh fallen snows on her window
with the red of the sky sinking low in her eyes
the warlord’s eagles are resting
and trembling she cries, through the mists of desires
lain far in the depths of the evening
and her eyes are glazed as the cold stings her face
and the emptiness sings of the future
