Snow Unbroken

Icy trees glisten in the starlight
And the snow glows cold and white
Blood drips down like crimson rain
Touching the snow with a fading red stain

And the stench of death fills the air
As the landscape lays cold a bare
As corpses hang desecrated in the trees
They wave in a silent breeze

See their faces twist in agony
And though blood drips from every tree
The snow is white and vastly still
As if with blood it drinks its fill
