Shadow Gallery – The Queen of the City of Ice

Long ago the skies turned gray,
the fallen sun had gone away
and left us cold,
until one thousand years would pass
and we'd sail away.

Trapped within such misery
we'd seen a light we'd never seen,
all crowned with gold.
Through morning mist with tears of ice
see her coming down.

All upon our knees,
falling with the rain, with the rain
a queen has come before us.
Falling with the rain, with the rain
I was alone, see how she took us all.
By her side we'll stay.
Shadows of love, blacken dawn,
fill the empty skies with
powerful her throne, oh my queen,
upon this silent maze of ice.
Oh how I love her so, yah I can't let go
she is all I need.
In the ice I'll stay 'till my dying day.


I have come here for so long I never have known why,
only to have been shown away.
There I saw you standing in the light for so long,
knew you had something more to say.
All my night times are full of dreams
of you and I and falling rain.
Oh I know you so well.

You are my queen of the city of ice,
a frozen love has never left her eyes.
Long live my queen of the city of ice,
and alone her frozen love was carved in stone.


I had a dream, something I believe in.
Always knew the day would come,
and they would come, and they would go,
and they would melt away our home.
And in my dreams, their fires burned,
they tear my heart.
I listen to the wind,
listen to the wind,
listen to the sad song
she is singing now.

Listen to the falling of the night
and see what she knows:
it's written in her eyes.
Lately I've had feelings
that are so hard to describe:
like armies marching
from the South,
and all the while she's blind,
she's falling.


So it came to pass that no more rain
would fall to them.
They come to bring us to our knees.
With mighty fires they built
around these city's castle walls,
our city melts into a sea.
So we run into the hills and
far away to cry in vain.
Oh no no my queen...

You are my queen of the city of ice,
the bringer of my life is fading fast.
Goodbye, my queen of the city of ice,
and alone she slowly sinks into the sea.


"Somewhere, out beyond the dark clouds
and the snow-covered mountains in the distance,
the dawn is breaking, and with it
the hearts of a thousand grieving peasants
as they kneel at the shore that was once
their beautiful city of ice.
And somewhere, far below the surface
of the steamy sea, lies their queen.
As to her fate, no one knows."

(Look! The water's freezing over
into a sea of ice!)

"Oh, my queen...
I have nothing but bitter memories
of the times before we met,
when my life was cold and barren,
and I would waste days at a time
crying for that which I did not have,
and I would lose endless nights of sleep.
And during these times, I would look to the sky,
for I knew, one day, you would come to me.
Oh, but once you came, I never thought
you would ever leave me...
ever...ever...ever."

Here I stand, I'm all alone now, cursed by fate.
I've burned my wings and I can't fly.
All around a sea of ice, oh,
could it be she waits for me...
but I'm never going to find out, am I?

So long, farewell, we are leaving,
on our way now, new beginning.

(So long) Falling with the rain,
falling with the rain.
(Farewell) Falling with the rain,
falling with the rain.
(We are leaving) Torn in the wind
with a shake and a spin,
and I don't ever think I will come here again.
(On our) There's a hole in my life,
carved it with ice
(Way now) 'cause fate was a dealer
that didn't think twice.
(New beginning) I'm so lost on my own,
a statue of stone carving your name
'cause I'm falling, I'm falling,
I'm falling, I'm falling,
I'm falling, I'm falling,
I'm falling, I'm falling...

"And so, as my people leave me by the sea of ice,
I know in my heart we will never again meet.
I am staying here with my queen,
my sorrow masked only by my joy...
for she is dead, but she is here."

You are my queen of the city of ice.
Goodbye, my queen of the city of ice.
Long live my queen of the city of ice.
You are my queen of the city of ice.
Goodbye, my queen of the city of ice.
Long live my queen of the city of ice.
You are my queen of the city of ice...
