At first glance it looks so lonely A vast white plain streatching out like glass But they don't see what we see when we look inside it The water rushing to the past At the edge of the world rising out of the snow like a kind of frozen cathedral There is mother of pearl linning blankets of ice at the edge of the world And no one knows what it's like on the clear blue ocean Along the shadows of ice on the deep blue sea From the peak it's an icy desert The wind howling over the plain is the only life The water covering the snow with it's lonely light cutting through the sleepy ice At the edge of the world there's a watery light that is filtering down from the heavens There's a level below every world that you know at the edge of the world And no one knows what it's like on the clear blue ocean Along the shadows of ice on the deep blue sea
