Lost in the White (v.2)

[Intro]
(Whispered, with sound of howling wind)
The snow keeps falling... I can't feel my hands...
Which way is home? ...

[Verse 1]
The pines are soldiers, tall and white,
They steal the last of fading light.
The compass spins, a useless thing,
The cold has stolen everything.
My footprints gone without a trace,
The wind screams cold in my face.
I called for help, but no one hears,
Just silence feeding on my fears.

[Pre-Chorus]
My lungs are burning, sharp like glass,
I'm stumbling, falling through the mass.
Of frozen branches, deep white sea,
Please, let it be a dream...

[Chorus]
I am lost in the white, in the endless taiga night!
Fighting for my life with all my fading might.
The frost is in my bones, my heart is beating slow,
Does anybody know I'm here, alone out in the snow?

[Verse 2]
I thought I saw a chimney smoke,
Just shadows playing some cruel joke.
My fingers numb, I try to stand,
To reach that warm and promised land.
The stars are diamonds, sharp and cold,
They watch my story unfold.
I'm just a whisper in the storm,
A fragile, shivering, human form.

[Pre-Chorus]
My lungs are burning, sharp like glass,
I'm stumbling, falling through the mass.
Of frozen branches, deep white sea,
Please, let it be a dream...

[Chorus]
I am lost in the white, in the endless taiga night!
Fighting for my life with all my fading might.
The frost is in my bones, my heart is beating slow,
Does anybody know I'm here, alone out in the snow?

[Bridge]
(Music softens, just a trembling guitar)
I'm so tired... the cold is kind...
It whispers promises to my mind...
"Just close your eyes, just rest a while..."
I see my mother's gentle smile...

[Guitar Solo]
(Emotional, wailing, building intensity)

[Final Chorus - Belted with full power]
I WILL NOT FADE INTO THE WHITE!
I'LL FIGHT THIS ENDLESS TAIGA NIGHT!
WITH MY LAST BREATH, WITH DYING HEART,
I SWEAR I'M GOING TO PLAY MY PART!
AND LIVE!

[Outro]
(Music cuts abruptly. Sound of a single, distant wolf howl. Then silence.)
