[Intro] (Deep, low sub-bass drones. The sound of a massive, rusted steel door groaning open. Slow, echoing metallic percussion begins, like water dripping in a vast cavern.) [Verse 1] Out of the blinding, freezing white A shadow rises in the night A wall of gray against the snow Where frozen, silent waters go The concrete leviathan stands alone A massive tomb of steel and stone We push the rusted gates apart And step into its hollow heart. [Chorus] Safe inside the giant's cage A shelter from the winter's rage The heavy walls keep out the chill But everything is dead and still We trade the deadly, freezing air For the suffocating darkness here Buried deep beneath the ground Where the echoes are the only sound. [Verse 2] The corridors are black and deep Where ghosts of the old world sleep Our footsteps ring against the floor A hundred times and then a hundred more We light a torch to break the gloom Inside this monumental tomb The shadows dance upon the gray As the dying daylight fades away. [Chorus] Safe inside the giant's cage A shelter from the winter's rage The heavy walls keep out the chill But everything is dead and still We trade the deadly, freezing air For the suffocating darkness here Buried deep beneath the ground Where the echoes are the only sound. [Verse 3] We make our camp within the hall Surrounded by the heavy wall The bitter wind howls far above But cannot touch the things we love We survived the falling snow In the belly of the beast below Alive, but swallowed by the dark Waiting for a brighter spark. [Chorus] Safe inside the giant's cage A shelter from the winter's rage The heavy walls keep out the chill But everything is dead and still We trade the deadly, freezing air For the suffocating darkness here Buried deep beneath the ground Where the echoes are the only sound. [Outro] (The vocals fade into a low whisper. A single metallic strike echoes endlessly. The sub-bass drone slowly rumbles into complete silence, leaving a heavy, oppressive quiet.)
