Glaciial

Weep of all white
Weighted faces of misery
Weep of all white

As the rivers run of dying swans
Contorting to ruin

From the aqueducts of anguish
Persistence always
The colossus of pain, of mind and bone, melting tow
Of the maudlin creases, to heave, bereave

Veins seep the valleys
Like bloated worms of the earth
The gravity, the burden, the will
Draping clouded skin
Breathing against the current
Drowning in bitterness
Beloved frailty
The perpetual strain
The strain
Senescent
Estranged

Time-scapes grind
The flowing form
Stretched across mould
Degenerating
From the fractures
Of antiquity
The everlasting lies, all lies
The lies of all flesh

Piercing the silence
The deafening dawn

Against the rising Sun
The fading pulse
Echoes of life
We are

All paths converge
Descent upon descent
The great cleansing
The age of cold
Old
Glacial
Old
