Cold Burn

Breathe into the harrowing wind
To uncover truths hidden by snow
Melting water cleanses the ground

Breathe into the freezing haze
The cold burns like salt in a wound

Howl
Your skull is screaming
The sky darkens
Visions dragged from light
Ice pierces your skin
Carving wounds from within

Pain moves through every vein
Frost covers figures too dim for you to see

Years go by faster
Seasons no longer hold their line
From its den under the mountain
Wings spread out across the night

Howl
Your skull is screaming
The sky darkens
Visions dragged from light

Pain moves through every vein
Frost covers figures too dim for you to see

The cold burns
