Lyrics
Verse 1
My fingers bleed upon the strings
The winter wind, it has no wings
It cuts right through my worn-out coat
And tries to strangle every note
The city turns its face away
End of another brutal day
I have no bread, I have no wine
But I still hold this hand of thine
Chorus
The darkness whispers, "Give it up"
"Just drink the poison from the cup"
But there is fire in my chest
A song that will not let me rest
It is a frozen Hallelujah
To the God who sees me through
Even if the sky is gray
Even if I fade away
I will build a temple here
Out of sorrow, out of fear
And scream my holy Hallelujah
Verse 2
They say that You are far above
Too high to hear, too high to love
But I have found You in the snow
Where only broken people go
The rich man sleeps in velvet sheets
While angels walk these frozen streets
So let them laugh and pass me by
I'm singing to the open sky
Chorus
It is a frozen Hallelujah
To the God who sees me through
Even if the sky is gray
Even if I fade away
I will build a temple here
Out of sorrow, out of fear
And scream my holy Hallelujah
Bridge
If I keep silent, stones will cry
My praise will tear the winter sky
The cold can never kill the flame
I burn for glory of Your name
Chorus
It is a frozen Hallelujah
To the God who sees me through
Even if the sky is gray
Even if I fade away
I will build a temple here
Out of sorrow, out of fear
And scream my holy Hallelujah
Outro
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
Tear the winter from my soul
Lead this weary wanderer home
One last hymn before I go
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Jah
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
