lyrics

Once upon a time there was a heartbroken boy.
In his bed he cried and cried, his room was cold, his body couldn't get warm.
He somehow liked the feeling of being sad and lonely, and being cold to the core.
Slowly his body grew colder, ice formed on his face and arms, his skin turned blue, soon he sought revenge.
No one would ever be able to break his heart again.
The Arctic King was born in the middle of the winter.
Years later his entire body was made of ice, the house he lived in turned into a white, sparkly castle, completely covered in ice, the green grass outside was now snow.
Then, one day his old love came to knock on his door.
The Arctic King knew it was him, he felt it in his entire icy body.
Deep inside the King's body grew a fire, out of nothing.
He walked to the door to see his old love again, he felt like the boy he used to be, but when he opened the door, all he could do was freeze the man he once loved.
This man is now the King's greatest treasure.

Raindrops on your skin
The grey color fades away
Leaving ring marks all over you
A darker tone fills your body

A two dimensional, black and white hand touching another [Cold, sweaty palms]
My hollow arms, broken stones
A mistake given by blindness [You destroyed me]
My whiteness is part of you

Ink, skin deep, but burning through the core [You exploded]
Suffering eternally, searching for more [Your own betrayal]
Your warmth inside, lost, replaced [Internal hatred]
It's fake, unreal and stupid [Fuck]
