Eternal Tears of Sorrow – The River Flows Frozen Lyrics 16 years ago
I love this song, since rivers do flow when they are frozen: under the ice, the river is still flowing.

In the first verses he is talking about how cold life/love can be, what once seemed good and bright is now past time ("The rays of sun no more warming").
Yet, though everything seems lost, he will not give up on her and he will keep trying.

After that has failed, everything seems black, "the river's frozen once again" probably refers to how she puts up walls and fends him off, leaving him with a broken heart.

He had been rejected before, the scars of those rejections are opening up again, remembering all past pain.

At the end, he says

"The spark of hope
Still in my heart
Shall dreams become true under the ice?"

He will still not give up, he can see she is also in pain and he wonders how it would be when her walls are torn down, on the outside it may look frozen, but the riven is still flowing: under the ice...

Awesome song, I like the transitions between the clean guitar/vocals and the distorted guitar / screams.
