[Verse 1]
The frost creeps slow, like a shadow in the pine
Each breath hangs heavy, like the weight of borrowed time
I carved your name in the cedar with a heavy blade
But the years buried it like the winter's grey
[Chorus]
And the frozen hours keep their hold on me
A ghost in the valley where the rivers freeze
Every path I take fades into snow
Then let these frozen hours mark my grave
[Verse 2]
There’s a cabin up the ridge where the old wolves howl
Its roof long gone, just a tomb for the clouds
I sit by the stones where the fire used to burn
But the echoes of the warmth never return
[Chorus]
And the frozen hours keep their hold on me
A ghost in the valley where the rivers freeze
Every path I take fades into snow
Then let these frozen hours mark my grave
[Bridge]
Oh, the wind carries stories it will never tell
And the snow hides the scars that I know too well
Every step sinks deeper, till it swallows the sound
And the echoes of the silence pull me down
[Outro]
So I wander through the shadowed firs
Chasing whispers I’ll never unearth
And if the mountains keep my soul for their own
Then let these frozen hours mark my grave
