Snowing on the purgatory The people are worse than ever Angels don't ever come down here Snowing on the purgatory Don't call god for some help He won't come, he won't come at all
Snowing all over my town The lost ewes are everywhere On my ground The fire of hell Never seems to die out Snowing all over my town Don't want to perish like a damned With my memory lost across the time
White night Cold white night I'm freezing in my heart In my head Cold white night
I want to break out Of my slave chains Open out a way Among the brambles and the thorns To follow the golden dove Telling back what she had said Doing back what she had done Flying like she flew, flying as high
White night Cold white night I'm freezing in my heart In my head Cold white night
Flying as high so that everybody Can hear my bird cry I want to fly as high So that everywhere My bird feathers can be seen
But that high, it's not enough high Cannons and swords Among a child's cry Is all I can hear
Turning round and round The air is burning my eyes My wings split the pollution It's a hard nerve war
Snowing on the purgatory The bird was just a bird And I'm still here Snowing all over my town Just dreaming Of that nuclear nightmare On a white night
