Koppangen

There is silence around me in this peaceful winter night
From the church down in the valley I can see the candlelight
And I stopped for a moment in this winter paradise
When I heard a choir singing through the darkness and the ice.

And the rays of lights behind the window's vaulted frames
Have united the souls in hope that something great is waiting
And I know that those who have left us here had the same thoughts as I
We're like flames in the darkness and stars up in the sky.

And I see how they sparkle and they fade before my eyes
And the truth is coming closer like a wonder in disguise
We are caught here for a moment like an imprint of a hand
On an old and frosted window or a footprint in the sand.

For a while I'm eternal that's the only thing I know
I am here and we share our dreams about our destination
It is cold out here, the snow is white but I'm warm deep inside
I am warm 'cause I know that my faith will be my guide.
