LYRICS
Verse 1:
And I cry,
And no one can hear.
Inhale.
The blinded eyes that see
The chaos.
Bring the pitiful to me.
Even though I'm wide-awake, 
I will.
And blackest night.

Pre-Chorus:
And I wait for you.
It's cold in here, 
There's no one left.
And I wait for you,
And nothing stops 
It happening.
And I knew, 
I'd cherish all 
My misery alone.

Chorus:
And I wait 
Staring at the Northern Star.
I'm afraid 
It won't lead me anywhere.
He's so cold, 
He will ruin the world tonight.
All the angels 
Kneel into the Northern Lights.
Kneel into the frozen lights.
Verse 2:
And they paid, 
I cry and cry for you.
Ghosts that haunt you with 
Their sorrow.
I cried cuz you were doomed.
Praying to the wound 
That swallows,
All that's cold and cruel.
Can you see the trees? 
Charity and gratitude.

Pre-Chorus:
They run to the pines
It's black in here, 
Blot out the sun
And run to the pines
Our misery runs 
Wild and free.
And I knew, 
The fire and the ashes of 
His grave.

Chorus:
And I wait 
Staring at the Northern Star,
I'm afraid 
It won't lead you very far.
He's so cold, 
He will win the world tonight.
All the angels 
Kneel into the Northern Lights.
Feel their hearts, 
They're cold and white.
Verse 3:
And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, 
No misery 
Is worth you.
Oh, tear his heart, 
Cold as ice,
It's mine.

Pre-Chorus:
And I wait, 
Praying to the Northern Star.
I'm afraid 
It won't lead you anywhere.
He's so cold, 
Raining on the world tonight.
All the angels,
Kneeling to the northern lights.

And I pray, 
Begging to the Northern Star.
I'm afraid 
It won't lead you anywhere.
He's so cold, 
He will rule the world tonight.
All the angels, 
Kneeling to the Northern Lights.
Kneeling to the frozen lights.
Feel their hearts, 
They're cold as ice.
