All is white and frozen stiff
Eyes bloodshot as can be
Will peace elude my fervent grasp
The sun beholds my misery
The blinding snow
My only light to follow
No stone unturned, but I return
I'm without words, my only sorrow
Not only once, but twice I fall into this daze
"As luck would have it", I would say
"Never again I walk this maze!"
A pale and bitter face, red and dry, cracked and sore
Is what it takes to make me say "No more, no more!"
No more snow, no more ice
No more cold, no more wind
No more snow, no more ice
No more cold, no more wind
No more pain, no more death
No more snow, blinding snow!
My torn and withered body owes its life to those long passed
The flesh and blood of my comrades, in peace I hope you rest
Corpses line the frozen fields, reminders of the past
With their lives claimed I live on, I'm the very last

Ascent into oblivion, the mountains capped in snow
The winds cut through my fingers like daggers to the flesh
I must go forward, and never look below
For no words could express the fear within my shallow soul
The path grows tougher, will I make it there in time?
Will I make it there at all my friend; way up in the sky so bright?
I must stand strong, and conquer this only threat
No regrets!
The wolves move forth, take heed to the shining moon
The coast is clear for now, my breath fogs the midnight sky
As daybreak cries its tired yawn upon my eyes
It's time to set foot, before the white and the azure blue
"One more step!", I tell myself as I grow weak
The days I've lived are only starting to begin
I shall not die upon this mountainside
A few more steps away, the end I'm soon to find
Must not give up hope, or all this work's for nothing
As long as I'm alive, as long as I'm alive!

Leagues Apart
03:38

Of many things that change in time
Our bond will surely not
Naivete don't plant the seeds of rye
But even that will die and rot
Closing distance in a spatial realm
When time seems to stop and leagues keep us down
But soon we shall prevail
Soon we shall prevail
Transcend what separates the joys that we feel
The hearts that we steal
To smash the clocks that keep us chained
Fold the land that may estrange
We shall prevail
I won't be made a fool of
Sweetheart, nor will you
Adversity won't stand before the ties that bind us
We'll see this through
But a year and a couple-hundred leagues apart
Who thought again I'd sing about another brand new start?
Smile bright, and shine among the best
For it was you, who saw me true above the rest
Darkness looms around the bend
Before the light comes 'round again
We stand together hand-in-hand
Justifying love's command

Bound to Face the Wind
08:26

Not long ago, mere months away
The facts of life were changed
I was bound to face the wind
For southward was my home
Who knew how serious these things could get
When you and I were joined by the hands of fate?
Grasping at straws that just happen to be the same!
Will you accept me, for what I am, or what I will be?
Today, tomorrow, or the next day?
United, colliding with the feelings you and I possess
Magic as a theory stands when you of all exist
There's only one place I belong
But that's not where I am
Give me time to take you far away
Where you and I can truly stand atop the hills, no one will be our judge
It's just you and I, and this breath for us to share
Closer, closer, silence beckons me to stray that way
Same things, same dreams, passion's plea for love more than today
No matter how arduous this will soon become
Just know that I'll on keep fighting 'til I'm dead and surely gone
I'm stubborn as a mule (or patient as a saint)
The eye of the beholder sees for all who've found their way
If I could only stay there beyond the shadow of a doubt
A momentary lapse of thought deceives me, that this is something real
My days feel as they're numbered, counting down without avail
How long will you wait for me on the other side?
"No matter how" much I wish
How much I pray
The only thing that can truly change is me
Save me, steal me from this world, your arms and my behest
Tighten, tighten ties that bind us, make this forever last

This can't be real, it's a fantasy, it has to be
But how in the living hell can I get out?
A fathomless infinity
I wish for wakeful eyes, for the burn of cold reality
For a world where I can die
The shades of bitter black
That fill my dead unending soul
Without peace, my heart bled its all
To have loved and lost
To have seized the day
But a dream left drowned on this freezing bay
