Cold Stone — Madder Mortem

What are the words of the queen on her throne? Spite and splendour, cold under stone This is her promise

What is the name of the gift that she brings? Sleepless slumber under her wings This is her promise

Cold, cold stone

Cold stone that buys and baits you Cold stone that hides and hates you Older that pride and oyre Older that flood and fire Here the swiftest beat will stop Here the strongest man will fall In her tower, in her halls In her silent maze of cold stone

Cold stone to groom and grind you Cold stone to make and mind you Cold stone to bleed and blind you Cold stone to break and bind you And her arms won't let you go And her weight will pull you down And her breath is in your lungs And her laugh is that of cold stone

What are the words that will always remain? Hunger, sorrow, winter and rain These are her promise
