Castles in the Snow

When I was just a girl I dreamed of gallant knights Riding for love and war Honor and glory Dreams so quickly fade Reality is languishing trapped In a game being played Ever betraying I'm forced to steel my skin I've weathered through the storm Someday I'll go home When will my time begin Or has it come and gone A wolf who died alone Though I have grown, I have learned I'm still a little bird Building castles in the snow One day my song will end The snow will fall again and again And I will fly away, fly away, fly away Each day remains the same Please free me from this cage I should run, I should live my own life Write my own story But hope so quickly fades This life of yearning Suffering endlessly And all for what Winter is coming Is this how things end Can't take any more Someday, I'll go home I've lost all my kin Please maiden, mother, crone I pray, don't let me die alone
