As I looked down upon her
Sitting in her regal manner
I knew she saw the truth in me
Her body encased in silken garments
Oh how wonderfully cold she looked
Appearances can be so deceiving
That she knew allot more then I did

And the ice queen said
Your heart is an empty shell with cracks upon it
Encased in deadly thorns

At long last I wept
I wept forever in a moment
Blessed peace was found
But I knew, now as much as she did
The truth, the mirror held towards my face
There can be no hope of change
Never shall I rise from my ashes
Enticing it is now to go to her in a desperate hour of need
But I know she will be cold and unyielding to my hands

And the ice queen said
Your heart is an empty shell with cracks upon it
Encased in deadly thorns

As a final tear fell on the page
I signed my requiem
Death was a final stage to one as old as I am
One must prepare an explanation to those who love him
Even though I had no heart in the matter
There are things that must be done before the end of time

And the ice queen said
Your heart is an empty shell with cracks upon it
Encased in deadly thorns

Never fear, always hope, live, slide
These are the words I have lived by
Remember them as you see me lying
Know that I am glad in my passing for a life well done
And always remember that in you hour of need
It is forbidden to meet the ice queen
