Lyrics to The Ice Maiden

Standing on the boulevard

You wish to know my name

I'm the Ice Maiden

I think perhaps you like being unhappy

I'm the Ice Maiden, the limit of your dreams



Arctic winds blow and still you believe

Loves makes you one of the chosen

Die in the snow, I'll never grieve

So what if tomorrow you're frozen

Death is a small price for heaven



Welcome to the glow of high octane affairs

Esperanto style and blonde disheveled hair

Subterranean streams, duckling you're a swan

Infinities of dreams imploding into one



All those nights I dreamt of you

I wonder where they've gone

You're the Ice Maiden



Standing on the boulevard

I've always known your name

You're the Ice Maiden

Let you and I grow frosty together



You're the Ice Maiden, today you meet your match

Girl when I burn, hell nothing's the same!

I'll singe your pretty blonde lashes

We're talking fire, we're talking flame

We're talking ice into ashes

But death is a small price for heaven



All those nights I dreamt of you

I wonder where they've gone



Girl when I burn, hell nothing's the same

I'll singe your pretty blonde lashes

We're talking fire, we're talking flame

We're talking ice into ashes

But death is a small price for heaven
