"...so cold."
Cold and wet, I'm sitting on my bed
Ah!
Colder and colder
The candles burning in my room are getting weaker
Darker and darker
The shadows dancing on the wall are growing taller
Cold as ice, this room is cold as ice, and growing colder
Colder and colder
My skin is slowly turning blue, I'm frozen over
Darker and darker
The dark is slowly creeping in, It's taking over
Cold as ice
This room is cold as ice, and so am I
My breath is showing, and yet, it's summertime
The dark is moving
It's as if, the shadows have a life of their own
As if the shadows have a life of their own
Cold as ice
I'm cold as ice
Cold as Ice
So cold...
Colder and colder
The spirits waiting in my room are growing stronger
Darker and darker
The dark is like an open door, inviting them into your home
Cold as ice
This room is cold as ice, and so am I
My breath is showing, and yet, it's summertime
The dark is moving
It's as if, the shadows have a life of their own
As if the shadows have a life of their own
Cold as ice
I'm cold as ice
Cold as ice
So cold
Uhhh, cold as ice
Uhhh, so cold
