The Ballad of the Winter Fallen
It was the cold and dark of winter
I was outside playing alone
My fingers were chilled like cinders
I ventured far from home
I turned around and it was white
I couldn't see at all
So I closed my eyes real tight
Then I began to fall...
I fell into a slumber
Awaken by bright lights
I heard the sound of water
I felt I slept all night
I saw a beautiful girl
With a voice as enchanting as gold
Her clothes white as pearl
She wasn't that old
I took her sweet soft hand
We walked to a grave
The grave's in white sand
My soul she couldn't save
Lights of green and blue
I was suddenly in a room
Kids in white dresses too!
Could it be my doom?
Taken to water so clear
I could hear my dad calling
His voice full of fear
The sound so loud appalling
I fell into the pond
Appeared in front of the door
This is the truth my bond
My dream existed before
