Snowstorm

[Intro] (Instrumental intro featuring layered acoustic guitars, a melancholic flute melody, and soft synth pads evoking swirling snow and wind) [Verse 1] The first flakes fall, a silent vow Upon the field, a frozen plough The sky descends, a shroud of white Erasing day, embracing night He pulls his coat against the gale A lonely figure on the trail Each step he takes, a memory stirs Of warmer days, of softest furs A voice that laughed, now lost and low Beneath the wind's relentless flow [Chorus] Oh, man in the snowstorm, walking alone Through the white fury, chilled to the bone The mountains stand silent, giants of grey Watching your journey, day after day The blizzard may blind you, the cold may bite deep But somewhere inside you, a promise you keep Through ice-laden branches, through drifts piled high You walk 'neath the storm's unforgiving sky [Verse 2] The lantern's beam, a fragile spark Against the vast, consuming dark It catches flakes in swirling flight Like diamonds lost in endless night The frozen stream, a path of glass Reflects the ghosts of seasons past He sees her face within the pane Of frost that forms and fades again A whispered name, the wind steals fast Leaving only the cold, the vast [Chorus] Oh, man in the snowstorm, walking alone Through the white fury, chilled to the bone The mountains stand silent, giants of grey Watching your journey, day after day The blizzard may blind you, the cold may bite deep But somewhere inside you, a promise you keep Through ice-laden branches, through drifts piled high You walk 'neath the storm's unforgiving sky [Bridge] Is hope a fire, banked low and dim? A distant star, a fragile hymn? The wind howls on, a ghostly choir Fanning that spark, that stubborn fire The path ahead is lost from view But still he knows what he must do One foot, then next, through deepening white Guided by memory's fading light [Chorus] Oh, man in the snowstorm, walking alone Through the white fury, chilled to the bone The mountains stand silent, giants of grey Watching your journey, day after day The blizzard may blind you, the cold may bite deep But somewhere inside you, a promise you keep Through ice-laden branches, through drifts piled high You walk 'neath the storm's unforgiving sky [Outro] The snowflakes dance in lantern's glow A silent, swirling, spectral show His footprints fill, erased by drift A softening line, a parting gift The wind still sighs its ancient song As the lone man walks, and walks along (Instrumental outro: Flute melody repeats, guitars fade, synth pads and wind sounds gradually diminish, leaving a sense of vastness and quiet resilience)
