Daughter Of The Moon Lyrics - Singles - Insomnium

Trail amidst the snow-clad trees, winding is the way 

Sunless is the path we roam, bitter is the air we breathe 

Fell is the icy blast, coming from the hills 

Blowing through my ailing heart, wailing in the emptiness inside 

Vanished is the light we had, hidden deep in rimy soil 

Bereft of us the one we cherished, lost for ever our love 

Still at night I see her figure 

Flickering on moonlit glades 

But passing is the hope she's giving 

Just a faintest breath of air and she's gone again 

The clouds are moving heavily, across the livid sky 

Yonder the hues are darkening, slowly turning grey to black 

For the two who stray in dusk, all hope is long since gone 

Cruel is the winter's reign, merciless the grasp of despair 

For what mirth there is left in life for a motherless son 

What solace in this world for a widower to find 

Slender the shape in night, unbearable the beauty 

Shining in the silvery light, watching me with wistful eyes 

Evanescent this vision, unattainable this illusion 

But an image in my troubled dreams, hewn out of yearning and rue
