Winter's Whore

I see the sad eyes of the Winter rain Like the ice blades he tears As I catch every falling shard And watch the skin of my hands run red I am tainted, I am marked I am contrast against Winter's silent blanket If not for the stains on my arms and dress I am visioned as pure The Snow White Whore Fallen to exile of barren wasteland For taking to the hand of marriage To Winter's demand And forward I'll go with punishment On my soul But keep locked down that I am clean I am the Snow King's wife I am his ice And by such means as snow and ice I will wash my stains And show translucent skin I carry man's sin In the form of a woman And a woman as such will be forever Banished Because of man's fear She is cold She is a Whore She's a Queen and she's pure I am numb and fall to the Season's feet He is my love I am his delicacy and his beauty And his pure heart Because I am human Of which he can never be
