RIFF A with lyrics: (4x) Searching    the Northern passage to the Indies
                         And yes we found the northern passage.
                         The northern passage to hell
                         
RIFF B with lyrics (2x): This world it turned into ice
                         The sun has set for the months to come
                         A landscape in the twilight zone
                         The somberness of winter

RIFF C with lyrics
I WALK between  the pools of frozen blood
It's 1896 my voyage is stranded before the gates of hell

4x RIFF D, with lyrics : Doom is in my eyes / Our ship is stuck in the ice
                   I don't know where we are/ and I don't know where we'll go

RIFF C
RIFF C with lyrics: Traveling, Endlessly, Like inside a labyrinth
                    The frost is hardening my breath
RIFF Dw(4x): The dark gaps in the ice / reflect the thoughts of my wrecked mind
             The only company I have / is the skeleton that never leaves my side

w RIFF E : Did we reach the ninth ring of hell? There where the traitors freeze
The northern passage to hell (Novia Emblems (Nova Bembla))
Nothing left to eat but ourselves (Novia Emblems)

RIFF C
WITH RIFF C: I hear the clapping of hooves behind me
             I know my time has come to die.

WITH RIFF D (4x): I await his embrace, / I've fallen from grace,
                  I'll never reach home / The somberness of winter
