Lyrics

    I don't know how to live through this Hell
    Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell
    Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
    Break the ice, I can't take anymore
    
         Freezing
         Can't move at all
         Screaming
         Can't hear my call
         I am dying to live
         Cry out
         I'm trapped under ice
    
    Crystallized, as I lay here and rest
    Eyes of glass stare directly at death
    From deep sleep I have broken away
    No one knows, no one hears what I say
    
         Freezing
         Can't move at all
         Screaming
         Can't hear my call
         I am dying to live
         Cry out
         I'm trapped under ice
    
    Scream, from my soul
    Fate, mystified
    Hell, forevermore
    
    No release from my cryonic state
    What is this? I've been stricken by fate
    Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free
    Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
    
         Freezing
         Can't move at all
         Screaming
         Can't hear my call
         I am dying to live
         Cry out
         I'm trapped under ice
