lyrics

The ancient oaks and pylons,
Form a foggy, misty backdrop.
Snow falls from grace to winter's song.
It doesn't seem to ever stop.

So beautiful, in it's virgin virtue.
A work of precious nature,
Unspoiled by man.

My ghost rises up, separate from the soul.
Looking for a resting place. Looking for a home.
Returning to the earth, it burrows in the snow,
There to lie in sorrow. We all die alone.

So beautiful, in it's victorian virtue.
Light can't pierce it's grey-ish hue.

The bodysnatchers out,
Harvesting my ghost.
They excavate the earth,
But they can't ever hurt it's host.
