Winter's Core
The cold dark depths of winter haunt me once again
It was a good year, a mild year, but it always comes
to freeze my mind and make me numb
All is white yet somehow dark
like some black frozen arrow hit it’s mark
The cold dark depths of winter chill me to the bone
The thick frosted air weighs down my lungs
as they breathe towards the sky in search for the sun
My thoughts more heavy of what has been
go searching for their quiet end
The cold dark depths of winter confine me once again
Banished in the darkest nights
it’s creeping death I try to fight
Invades me to my deepest core
till light and warmth I feel no more
The cold dark depths of winter try me once again
A cold reminder that time goes by
and we let it all pass in front of our eyes
All the things that I adore
now frozen into Winter’s Core
