Aphrodite's Winter Lyrics - Cathedral

Frozen land mesmerized 

By her arcane mystery 

Goddess of the underworld 

Cold queen of lost beauty 

Gazed upon Earth's battleground 

At mankind's misery 

With her sadness, came love's death 

As violence slowly seized 

Her weeping tears of darkness 

Crystallized the Earth 

As warmth turned colder 

Her grief chilled away all mirth 

Frosted armies paused in war 

Now wearing beards of snow 

Perishing forever, forevermore 

Her bite numbs to the bone 

Housed in icy caves, men of peace 

Rest in these times of woe 

Shaking in glass, glass coffins 

Waiting for the sun to glow 

She cast her spell on Earth 

And all emotion died 

Her languid heart dulled 

The skies with love's demise 

She crystallized the Earth 

With water from her eyes 

A frozen sun now hangs 

Above this land's demise
