Eisblumen English translation
von Subway to Sally

The day flees swiftly from the city
That drinks its fill of shadows
And reveals its true face
The puddles already shimmer like ice
In the sky a silver streak shines
The evening turns dew to frost
The paleness snowing from our cheeks
Makes us as beautiful as angels
They should fall to their knees
And pray the moon remains veiled

We are like ice flowers
We bloom in the night
We are like ice flowers
Far too beautiful for the day
We are like ice flowers
Cold and black is our power
Ice flowers bloom in the night


The morning turns frost to dew
The day makes everything harsh and glaring
We dress ourselves in sadness
But when the day goes, so comes our time
Whoever wants to shine pleads for light
Whoever dares looks night in the face
The paleness snowing from our cheeks
Makes us as beautiful as angels
They will fall to their knees
And pray the moon remains veiled

We are like ice flowers
We bloom in the night
We are like ice flowers
Far too beautiful for the day
We are like ice flowers
Cold and black is our power
Ice flowers bloom in the night

We are like ice flowers
We bloom in the night
We are like ice flowers
Far too beautiful

We are like ice flowers
We bloom in the night
We are like ice flowers
Far too beautiful for the day
We are like ice flowers
Cold and black is our power
Ice flowers bloom far too beautiful for the day


We are like ice flowers
We bloom in the night
We are like ice flowers
Far too beautiful for the day
We are like ice flowers
Cold and black is our power
Ice flowers bloom in the night
