[Intro] Five thousand winters held your name Under blue stone, under pressure, under sleep I traced your outline through the melt And heard the mountain let you breathe [Verse 1] Ice woman, ice maiden, woman of ice I learned your many names from the blade Ice lady, ice-born, white widow of time I kept one empty place in the shade You opened your eyes to a rink of silver No language left in your mouth I offered my hand, you offered a tremor And the old cold started south [Pre-Chorus] Your feet remember a vanished valley My heart remembers none We turn where the blue years fracture And make a body from the sun [Chorus] Ice woman, ice man, rise and turn Let the ancient silence burn Ice maiden, ice-born, take my hand Learn the shape of this living land You were sleeping beneath the mountain I was waiting without knowing why Now we carve one circle together And leave the glacier behind [Verse 2] Ice queen, ice girl, winter's daughter Your hair still holds the mineral rain Ice spirit, ice heart, glacier walker You step through five thousand years of pain The room goes quiet beneath our edges Your shoulder finds my frame A thaw moves slowly through your fingers And gives the lost a name [Pre-Chorus] The old world rises in your breathing A mammoth call, a distant drum But here the music bends around us And says the future has begun [Chorus] Ice woman, ice man, rise and turn Let the ancient silence burn Ice maiden, ice-born, take my hand Learn the shape of this living land You were sleeping beneath the mountain I was waiting without knowing why Now we carve one circle together And leave the glacier behind [Bridge] Do not ask the ice what it remembers Do not ask the years to return Place your weight against my shoulder Feel the hidden edges learn If I am stranger, stay beside me If I am older, let me be We are not relics in a case now We are motion, breath, and heat [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Ice woman, ice man, rise and turn Let the ancient silence burn Ice maiden, ice-born, take my hand Two lost bodies understand You were sleeping beneath the mountain I was waiting beneath my skin Now the rink becomes a small new planet And the thaw is where we begin [Outro] Ice woman, ice maiden, woman of ice Ice man, ice-born, no longer alone The glacier keeps its white remembrance We carry the moving world home [Intro] Five thousand winters held your name Under blue stone, under pressure, under sleep I traced your outline through the melt And heard the mountain let you breathe [Verse 1] Ice woman, ice maiden, woman of ice I learned your many names from the blade Ice lady, ice-born, white widow of time I kept one empty place in the shade You opened your eyes to a rink of silver No language left in your mouth I offered my hand, you offered a tremor And the old cold started south [Pre-Chorus] Your feet remember a vanished valley My heart remembers none We turn where the blue years fracture And make a body from the sun [Chorus] Ice woman, ice man, rise and turn Let the ancient silence burn Ice maiden, ice-born, take my hand Learn the shape of this living land You were sleeping beneath the mountain I was waiting without knowing why Now we carve one circle together And leave the glacier behind [Verse 2] Ice queen, ice girl, winter's daughter Your hair still holds the mineral rain Ice spirit, ice heart, glacier walker You step through five thousand years of pain The room goes quiet beneath our edges Your shoulder finds my frame A thaw moves slowly through your fingers And gives the lost a name [Pre-Chorus] The old world rises in your breathing A mammoth call, a distant drum But here the music bends around us And says the future has begun [Chorus] Ice woman, ice man, rise and turn Let the ancient silence burn Ice maiden, ice-born, take my hand Learn the shape of this living land You were sleeping beneath the mountain I was waiting without knowing why Now we carve one circle together And leave the glacier behind [Bridge] Do not ask the ice what it remembers Do not ask the years to return Place your weight against my shoulder Feel the hidden edges learn If I am stranger, stay beside me If I am older, let me be We are not relics in a case now We are motion, breath, and heat [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Ice woman, ice man, rise and turn Let the ancient silence burn Ice maiden, ice-born, take my hand Two lost bodies understand You were sleeping beneath the mountain I was waiting beneath my skin Now the rink becomes a small new planet And the thaw is where we begin [Outro] Ice woman, ice maiden, woman of ice Ice man, ice-born, no longer alone The glacier keeps its white remembrance We carry the moving world home
