Frozen anchors

The world was close at hand
Now I’m drifting alone
Far from the shore
With a thought long lost
Keeping my distance
From the eager years
Never turning backand
I chose to stay and wait forever
And I count the seconds in my head
As I break step by step

The frozen anchors
The choking chains
The frozen anchors
My dead and cold fingers
Strangling the bits of hope
Once lost promises
Burning in the distance
The sails have been torn down
My crew is only an army of ghosts
Army of ghosts

I’m speaking for the cold and silent sea
I’m whispering for the frosty wind
I’m screaming for the singing mountains
But the answer will always be the same
They sing for the times
That could have been changed
They sing for the words
That never were said

And I chose to stay and wait forever
And I count the seconds in my head
As I break step by step
The frozen anchors
The choking chains
The frozen anchors trapped in black ice

Sing for the times
That could have been changed
For the words
That never were said
The frozen anchors
