The Gateway of Snow

Standing by the edge of home Looking through winter's trees Warm were the days of long ago Now all I have is a single flame My vision is only limited As I stare into the falling snow My eyes focus and I wonder Will I meet my destiny tonight? I have convinced myself That the rumors I've heard are truthful And I have waited so long To set out on this journey tonight I stand, at peace with myself Am I just lost in a dream? I have been lent my true identity My frozen heart burns with passion And I step through the gateway of snow... The frost of the night came so suddenly My flesh turned cold as ice The moon turns its head away I feel I have no guide As I begin my journey Dragging my feet through the thickness of the snow I watch the final light of the village as it goes The cold is more than I thought But I must find Autumn... And I've stepped through the gateway of snow...
