A shard of ice conceals a memory,
In the grasp of a rotting body
Forever the mind will decay
Consumed by the hungry jaws of time
Life has shrunk, withered, ended.
Desperate apathy ascended, over my sanity
Disintegrating my entire view
Reflections sublimate slowly
Skewing and distorting the surface
Of this mound that holds my warmth.
Haunted by their pallid shades
Within this yearning loneliness
All forlorn, those choices I made
Conjuring spectres with every breath
The cold touch of a sunless winter
Its mesmerizing fingers weaving
The clock now ticks in a thousand splinters
With endless darkness un-receding
Bring them clearance
Scorch the ice
Bring them peace now
Let them die
I became my own prisoner
Such futile mind has forged this jail
Frost-forged chains hold me in these chambers,
Carved into the ice with pain
Purge them with flames!
Frozen!
Frostbound wheel of time. Shattered by a cry
Memories
Won't fade away
Of the ones dreaming inside
Beneath the frosted plains of sorrow
Lie buried deep the years of yore
With just a shard of a heart so hollow
I strive to become once again whole
Through all these whims of bright sensations
My soul is judged by a thousand eyes
Where once was pride, reigns desolation
My hollow heart is a shard of ice
My will now wavers in the wind
That's blowing from the gaping graves
It rings with voices that exclaim my guilt
My flesh and bones wither away
In the wake of these memories
A lifeless body under a winter sky
Even in death I am not free
From this guilt of mine, this shard of ice
