When the ice is cold and the snow is sharp
It'll slit our wrists and expose our hearts
When the sky bleeds black and the air goes frigid
We'll see our breath and the shadows so vivid
And when we drink up our soul and lie about our sins
God will reject us but the devil will take us in

With a cool breeze he'll walk by our side
He'll feed us needles and sweet, sweet lies
We'll live in his mansion a palace so divine
With parties and balls and beautiful lights

We'll trade him our soul for another life
But we'll be left with nothing
No will, no fight
We'll both turn to god but he'll shy us away

And then we'll know,

We traded our life and soul for nothing today
