[instrumental intro] [Verse] The winter winds they bite my soul I watch the ice begin to grow Your poison touch a fading stain In battles lost we break the chain [instrumental break] [Verse 2] Our shadows danced in fiery glow But burned the fields where love should grow This heart of mine now scorched and torn I cut the root to be reborn [Chorus] Letting go is a heavy cost The love we had but have since lost But freedom calls with whispers soft From toxic lands I’ll lift aloft [instrumental break[ [extended instrumental break] [Verse 3] Your venom words They carved my flesh But in the pain I find what's fresh A life beyond the choking haze Farewell to all our bitter days [Bridge] The echoes of your voice still ring But through the tears New hope they bring A world outside the iron cage I turn the key I turn the page [Chorus] Letting go is a heavy cost The love we had but have since lost But freedom calls with whispers soft From toxic lands I’ll lift aloft
