It happened in Vuosaari, an island off eastern Helsinki, during the winter of year 2013.
It  was a long and white winter this year, with snow and ice, rough and magical.

I was standing on the frozen sea.

I was looking on the horizon at the sun being shy, as if it did not dare come down too close to the sea, lest its fire would freeze. And as I did so, feelings of ecstasy and peace clashed inside my heart. 

I thought of my week, and how I had been spending many days home, giving in to hibernation. Today my will to live had taken over the winter. 

From home I called the man. I told him I would gladly accept his invitation to take a walk on the frozen sea.. And here I am now.

I know I shouldn’t defy the cold for too long, standing still. Soon it will pierce through my clothes and defy the life in me. It is up to me now if I shall move on or turn back..

“Trust is a medicine that heals old wounds”, I am thinking.
And there and then I decide I will give him mine.

I watch his tall silhouette walking away in the distance.

His black jacket and his red scarf are clashing with his blond hair, and on the white around him.

Looking up I see the moon has rejoined the sun in the sky.
I feel no fear, only expectation, when I decide I’ll follow him into the unknown,

“into the ruthless white” *

CHORUS:On the Frozen Path
I’m following
This Angel man
With a Devil within ..

The moon’s been full for two days
Everything is possible today

The moon’s been full for two days
Everything is possible today

Everything is possible today*
