Ice Queen Lyrics
Artist(Band):Within Temptation
When leaves have fallen
And skies turned to grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings her song of farewell
You better hide from her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day.
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe.
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you're all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world.
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world?
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day.
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe.
Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

Review about Ice Queen
Within Temptation | Reviewer: 57r337f1gh7er | 8/13/2008Currently one of my favourite songs. I think they are literally talking about the current state of the world; particularly the current global political climate, i.e. North-Korea, Palestine, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, Georgia & Russia etc.
When i first heard the lyrics of this song the first think that came to my mind is the term "nuclear winter". Nuclear winter is a hypothetical global climate condition that is predicted to be a possible outcome of a large-scale nuclear war. It is thought that severely cold weather can be caused by detonating large numbers of nuclear weapons, especially over flammable targets such as cities, where large amounts of smoke and soot would be injected into the Earth's stratosphere also blocking out all sun-light.
"...She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day..."
The above lyrics literally give me the "chills" . It could be a hypothesis of what might follow after "nuclear winter" for those that remain.

Yeah, that old chestnut. Beautiful song. Very dramatic. I think it's a song about evil in general which uses language evocative of "Ice Queens" in fiction such as Jadis to get its point across. They've got some very interesting videos on YouTube set to the song.
ice queen | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/7/2008
it remind me of the killing cold that you feel when alone out in the sown and no one there to comfort and all you can do is run to stay warm or fall victim to to the to the cold winds that sweep in from the north
hell is what i give you

This song is one of my FAVORITES. It's funny, but I first heard it when my area was in the middle of an hail-and-snowstorm, and to me it definitely seems like Within Temptation could be talking about Winter personified.
However, there is some arguement for the "Queen Jadis" theory. At the beginning of the song, notice:
a.) the deer/reindeer hooves and the bells (Jadis had a sleigh pulles by reindeer with bells on the harness)
b.) the thud of feet jumping down on something, then a short bit afterwards, what sound like a bottle of something being opened. Narnia fans will remember that in "Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe" Jadis has a bottle of magic potion opened for a young boy named Edmund.
So.... Jadis the Ice Queen, Lady Winter the Queen, Fonda's Snow Queen, we may never know. But this song is DEFINITELY worth downloading or buying on a CD.
Ice Queen vs. Snow Queen | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/2008
I first found this song as I watching the 2002 tv version of Han Christian Andersens' book 'Snow Queen' I listened to this song and as I heard it became more and more clear..at least to me that she was talking about Bridget Fonda's character of the Snow Queen
Ice Queen | Reviewer: Shawna Lynn | 1/12/2008
Perhaps it's too literal of an interpretation, but I immediately thought of the witch from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Upon reading the lyrics, I was immediately struck with a second literal interpretation. The song is simply about winter. In northern climates, such as the Netherlands, winter can be a deadly beauty, much like the woman described in the song.
Great song, great Band great Band, Fantastic video | Reviewer: Ndangasare | 1/3/2008
I think they are mostly talking about wars and causes of it, like selfishness etc that when war breaks it destroys everything, so we better keep away from it.
I like the band very much, the guitarists are great, the lady has a very nice voice fits for this particular message very much.
I have seen this songs video is very great, actualy its to me is among the best music video i have ever seen.
COOOL guys
killer song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/14/2007
It makes me think of how much our race is killing our world. And it makes me smile to think that when Mother nature says "F*** it" we'll all be running from her freezing hell!! I love it! Major Kudos to Within Temptation!
not pessimistic, look closer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/2007
With using pessimistic words they re actually trying to say see the bright side you just need to look more carefully ;) they are quite optimistic... and lyrics are written in very clever way
