Sleep now my child
We will rest tonight
I am your shelter
From the storm outside
There is no sadness
In our song tonight
So until tomorrow
Say goodnight
At dawn, all I see is darkness
Deep snow surrounds the house
And theres no getting out
For days, were trapped inside this fortress
The doors are frozen locked
The windows icy blocks
I know we wont get out tomorrow
It seems our freedoms taken
Replaced by desperation
And as the weeks go by in sorrow
We watch each other starve
And I prepare to carve
At a months demand
Our supply surpassed
My secret plan
A grim repast
A chance to stay alive
In this world of frozen light
Hate to see the hunger
In your eyes
Take a piece from me
Even though Im weakening
You will be alive
Another night
It might be insane
But theres no other way
Only one can survive
So Ill keep you alive
Ignoring the pain
I try to sustain
I hope you dont see
That Im feeding you me
Sleep now my child
I will keep you warm
Dont let your spirits
Be buried by the storm
Just close your eyes
Dont want you to see
Why you keep living
How much I bleed
So with this knife
I give you life
This is the last time
Come take my heart
Just as the sunshine
Comes to melt the dark
Last meal is given
The child is fed
Now the sun is risen
And I am dead
A chance to stay alive
In this world of frozen light
I took away the hunger
From your eyes
It was all in secrecy
But in piece by piece of me
I have given you
Another life
