When Hell Freezes Over

Two windswept hearts skip a beat beneath a broken window Frozen footprints from ice cold feet as if they didn't know paint the window sill and chill a crying crow with a look to kill it cries out and dies 'I told you so' Jealousy jilts the jagged jalousie into flickering red reflections from once upon a time long ago Shattered glass gives way to howling winds but will not give in to Thundersnow Suddenly, 3am, and four right in a row Open up thy curtain call and feel it blow by blow by blow by blow Thy Kingdom come burning down the hall with barely a candle glow While wicked wildfire walks up and down the bedroom wall impatient as it is slow Take a bow, thy Final Fall Thy Kingdom come burning everything down below
