Standing on the boulevard

You wish to know my name
Am7
I'm the Ice Maiden
Am7 Em
I think perhaps you like being unhappy
Am7 Em
I'm the Ice Maiden, the limit of your dreams
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Arctic winds blow and still you believe
D Db7
Loves makes you one of the chosen
Cmaj7
Die in the snow, I'll never grieve
D E
So what if tomorrow you're frozen
Cmaj7
And death is a small price for heaven
[Middle 8]

Infinities of dreams imploding into one

Girl when I burn, hell nothing's the same!

We're talking fire, we're talking flame

But death is a small price for heaven
