There's No Ice in Iceland Songtext
von Valiant Hearts

This time the northern lights, they won′t say goodnight
For all they give us we return with nothing at all

With ire I hold on tight
Next to constellations they shine all night
The heavens call but they're too far tall

As our feet fall we follow far and wide
On a needle spun directionless inside
We try to find a wayward land where machines run mad
Enveloped by a chill that crawls up our backs
Where the cold ice cap freezes and snaps
Under heavy-weighted heels it cracks

Tell me how my parts all work within
When all we hear are the sounds of these silent gears
A somber symphony that used to ring in our ears
And to the touch we′re cursed in cold
It seems as if the curtain has finally called
As the frostbite stalls and the chemicals start closing in

This time the northern lights won't say goodnight


With ire I hold on tight
Next to constellations they shine all night
The heavens call but they're such an unfamiliar sight
Move past the fork in the road
You′ll find what you′ve been looking for
Under star-drenched coastlines by the shore

Oh, there's a long journey ahead of us, son
But you won′t know 'til you lift your head up
You′ve got to take in the view before its time is up
Cascading over our thoughts
We canvas our memories for naught
Will serenity still show us what's in store?

The sun sets tonight
It dives into the tide to be swallowed in the night
The sun sets tonight
It dives into the tide to be swallowed in the night
The sun sets tonight
Cause this time the northern lights won′t say goodnight
And shine for us all

With ire I hold on tight
Next to constellations they shine all night
The heavens call but they're such an unfamiliar sight
Move past the fork in the road
You'll find what you′ve been looking for
Under star-drenched coastlines by the shore
