Spanish singer, multi-instrumentalist and fantasy illustrator Priscilla Hernandez released a music video for Cold Winter.
The song is part of a mini-project titled As Seasons Flow. It’s meant to be the prequel for the song Grow, released a couple of years ago (you can watch it below). It is an winter incantation inspired by the Norse Goddess Skaði and other archetypal Snow maiden figures of folklore, like the Snow Queen, The white witch, Snegurochka, Yuki Onna etc.
Priscilla Hernandez has been composing ethereal, gothic and fantasy music since 2002. Along the road, she has collaborated with many renowned artists, such as Joran Elane, Louisa John Krol, Fiona Rüggeberg, Woodland, Daemonia Nymphe and others. The musician has also shared stages with Faun, Omnia, Euzen, Qntal, Medieval Babes, among other great acts.

Lyrics – Cold Winter (The Snow Maiden Incantation)
Cold are the long nights in winter
Cold to the bone
now all is bare long time withered
‘neath the dim gleam of a sun
that can’t barely make a faint heartbeat
still in the ghost of the day
so down deep
life falls sleep
hidden and safe in its lair
And out in the roaring blizzard
a specter in white roams alone
Her frosty lips humming a song
words catching snow on her tongue
Her haunting wail feels like a shiver
her voice like a whispery moan
cold as the long nights in winter
cold, cold to the bone
Cold are the long nights in winter
cold, cold to the bone
Nothing but dead boughs and splinters
naked and covered in snow
And all is unstirring stillness
Nature is Wise and knows
So down deep
life falls sleep
waiting for warmth to regrow
