There it sits this heavy weight,
Like a anvil upon a paper plate,
A crushing force it does affect,
A mighty power I must respect.

It bleeds my joy, my love of life,
It takes away my pain and strife,
It takes away all colours bright,
Replacing them with dead of night.

No light it permits me to see
No singing of songs will there be
It holds all enthralled in its might
Shielding them from my poor souls sight

Emotion in prison deep within
Nothing gets through, not even sin
Nothing gets out for even a day
Nothing can escape in any way

Hard as a rock and twice as cold,
Born of a tale of sadness told,
It will not break or wash away,
To last forever you might say.

It was caused by Love won and lost
And locks me in eternal frost
A man of Ice I have become
Now forever my emotions numb

Though small it was it has but grown
It crushes me now, flesh and bone
Doomed forever to be alone
For I now bare this heart of stone.
