Story behind the song
A song inspired during a visit to Saint Petersburg in the depths of winter, what a place!
Lyrics
In that city of the north prayers sparkle as they fall unheard to the ground, my friend, you'll find no comfort there. Because its so damned cold you'd sell your soul for a mouthfull of vodka and the momentary warmth it brought. We made that place a monument to pain, achingly beautiful. That city stands shining on the bones of old carvers hands siezed closed, have you cut your last perfect stone? I saw her once gazed upon something more than me. Achingly beautiful.
