Lyrics:

Silence is all I hear
Blackness fills my world
Midwinter days
And lonely nights
Depression takes over my frozen mind

Morning starts a new day
Dawning nowhere to be seen
Oh won't you break
My chains and let
Me go free as a bird in the sky

Winter blows colder
I'm growing older
Visions Of Darkness
Breaking the silence

Winter blows colder
I'm feeling older
Light fades away
I'm here to stay

I'm telling you
No one could ever take your place
Open your eyes
And you will see

Winter blows colder
I'm growing older
Visions Of Darkness
Breaking the silence

Winter blows colder
I'm feeling older
Light fades away
I'm here to stay
