OF THE COLD - ACT I (a soul of damned darkness)

He was lost in the deep forest
In the mist
A caravan of carriages
In a light there was a figure
A man of great stature stands beckoning
With a deep voice, like the whisper of the wind
He bed him welcome to his game

"Enter the mirror-room
Where the lies are the truth
Here you will see your life
Here you will feed on demons in your mind"

Here comes a soul again
A soul of damned darkness
He takes the challenge with smiling eyes
But the gamekeeper changes the rules
So follow me into the shadows
Here you will sleep forever

With cries of fear, blood on his hands
He ran out and prayed for peace of mind
"Oh please still my heart
For what I saw cannot be
And I will not take it as the truth"

"What is wrong? It´s just a reflection
A trick of light or can you feel it it´s more than you can see
No my friend, keep the faith
Collect your strength and enter the room of light
Where fear and doubt shine"

Here comes a soul again
A soul of damned darkness
He takes the challenge with smiling eyes
But the gamekeeper changes the rules
So follow me into the shadows
Here you will sleep forever

And again he´s thrown to the ground
Cries of visions of dreams
Of a love long gone
Of his life that he wasted and sold

"You tricked me, you lured me into your trap
Why do you posses me?"

"No, you came to me
You took the challenge
You praised my words
Now pray for your soul"

And the game was played again
There was a smile in the desperate soul
He really thought he had won
But the gamekeeper changed the rules once more
"So follow me into the shadows
Here you will sleep forever"
