Waiting (Triptykon)

Under stars enthroned, far above As the forest drowns in black snow Under stars enthroned, I shall serve And the ice consumes the world below There exists no life around me Though I sense I'm not alone I am yielding to the darkness And the wind a lonely voice Black snow Under stars enthroned Infinite sky Every step I take, life recedes Under stars enthroned, everlasting night And the cold prevails beneath There exists no life around me I am seeking my reflection I resign to my extinction In this ocean of black snow Deep within my tortured flesh I remain alive I long for my demise, in this world contrived Everything I once was and once defined I'm too blind to perceive the blindness in my mind
