The sun was dying behind the mountains' shadows, the teeth of a colossus

Bleeding its light down the hillside, we watched the glowing come to an end

The flames ascend

Just show me where you are

I would swallow your darkness

Place my hands in the fire

I want to fill my lungs with the smell of damp bark and your name

The taste of your avalanche and the cold winter tongue on my cheek

Is it that you stand so tall?

Bloodletting feral ritual, I painted in the snow a stave to guide you home

Can you see?

Just show me where you are

I would swallow your darkness

Place my hands in the fire
