Ice Queen Lyrics

When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.

When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

no one thinks that this song is about the story "Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Anderson? Sometimes the story is even called "Ice Queen" as well (Very good story, by the way). He even has a story called "The Nightingale". The first time I heard this song, I thought immediatly about HCA. shrugs But maybe it's just my sister and I that think so.

This song reminds me of the White Witch from the Chronicles of Narnia. It feels like it was written just for her! And i found an awesome video for her featuring this song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VQMgt-O3drE

@tigereyes8809 same. Not sure what song really about, but to me its about Jadis in Narnia. The ultimate Ice Queen

A very great song! I think this was just a little story that they wrote and sang about. Great though! In a way, it sounds like what its like to hide.

I think the song is some kind of fairytale about what causes winter.

I think this is a song about the famous "Yuki onna" from japanese legends. A ghost from a woman who kill travellers lost in a frost land.

Another great song by Within Temptation. To me I think it's just like Arm said a fairytale about winter but personifies it giving it a human form. Kind of like a song about a female version of Jack Frost.
