Cold Song Lyrics
by Klaus Nomi
What Power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!
See'st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.
Let me, let me,
Let me, let me,
Freeze again...
Let me, let me,
Freeze again to death!
What Power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!
See'st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.
Let me, let me,
Let me, let me,
Freeze again...
Let me, let me,
Freeze again to death!
Klaus Nomi, born Klaus Sperber (Berlin, 1944 – New York, 1983), was a German singer known for his theatrical style and powerful contralto voice. Born in Germany, he moved to New York in the 1970s where he began performing in the city's underground clubs. His music, a fusion of synth pop, art rock, and cabaret, featured often provocative lyrics and a theatrical aesthetic reminiscent of the Bauhaus era. Nomi collaborated with artists such as David Bowie and Brian Eno, and his debut album, "Klaus Nomi", was released in 1982. Among his most famous songs are "Total Eclipse", "Cold Song", and "The Right to Be Wrong". His career was short but intense, marked by a significant influence on the underground music of the 1980s.
