What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles within my brain (cocaine)
Something blowing in my head
Winter's ice, it soon will spread
Down to freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the trees
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel the snowflakes freezing me
Let the winter sun shine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Build my dreams on flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling glow
Right
Don't you think I know what I'm doing?
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one that's really the loser
This is where I feel I belong (right)
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turn my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
Writer/s: John Michael Osbourne, Terence Butler, Tony Iommi, William Ward

![Styx - Castle Walls
Once in a dream
Far beyond these castle walls
Down near the bay
Where the moonlit water falls
I stood alone
While the minstrels sang their song
So afraid Id lost my soul
There in the fog
His song kept calling me
Leading me on
With its haunting melody
Deep in my heart
A voice kept echoing
I knew Id soon be wandering
Far beyond these castle walls
Where the distant harbor meets the sky
There the battle raged like hell
And every dove had lost its will to fly
[Instrumental]
Far beyond these castle walls
Where I thought I heard Tiresias say
Life is never what it seems
And every man must meet his destiny
