When It Comes To Love

Wild are the winds that sweep over the snow
Deep are the shadows in moonlight's cold glow
Bark tossed and stranded, cruel ice all around
Hark, hear the anthem: a fool has been crowned

Here stands your commander, John Franklin by name
All glory abandonned, no prize left to claim
The spoils of the quest for prestige and for pride
But an old empty chest with no treasure inside

I am a fool when it comes to love
No gold have I gained here on Earth or above
Striving in vain for what fools dream of...
And I am a fool when it comes to love

Courageous companions, how grim is our fate
How helpless our landing, how hopeless our wait
Exiled explorers, our banners unfurled
Alone in our Terror at the end of the world...

Dearly beloved, sweet suffering wife
Too far have I roamed to return to this life
No rest shall I know, no home shall we share
I pray for eternity, I will love you there...

(instrumental)

Nightfall has fallen like the moon from the sky
Daybreak has broken like the sound of goodbye
No breath on these lips, no grasp in this glove
I am a fool when it comes to love
I am a fool when it comes to love
No gold have I gained here on Earth or above
Striving in vain for what fools dream of...
I am a fool when it comes to love
I am a fool when it comes to love
I am a fool when it comes to love
