Glacial Blood

Minds adrift, I've gone astray Blood coursing like shifting plates Blackened limbs grow rapidly inutile I walk a buried path into the fray Lord of the frost lands, drifter of the grey I walk a buried path into the fray Beyond contact, beyond salvation Alone in an unreachable destination Nothing to offer warmth or direction Malevolent surroundings Hostile freezing suffocation As I go further into this artic void Hypothermia Perished skin Through ice destroyed Of life this wilderness is devoid Minds adrift, I've gone astray Blood coursing like shifting plates Blackened limbs grow rapidly inutile I walk a buried path into the fray Beyond contact, beyond salvation I wander alone with no precise direction No-one to console my lamentation It surrounds me Adverse glacial abomination Ice starts to preserve my body Immobile I become Loneliness acts as a catalyst to aberration And as the ability to move evades me My limbs become alike roots in the earth Like roots in the earth A burial fit for no man or beast This body shall nurture not the soils As the transformation completes Fragmented in appearance Parts break away from me Body tightened Giving up the fight Drift into the final sleep Exhausting astringent winds force my body into paralysis My track are covered No-one will know where I rest Winters embrace Adrift The ice is all I know Astray As I become the snow
