across the cold

The dusk settles in
And the moon casts down the pale white conjuration
Speaks with a frozen voice
As I enter the ageless winter

Farewell to the world in colours
Darkness has claimed its throne
The vastness of black horizons
Blindfolds the halcyon skies

Sing me a song of the night sky
Let me join in its cold resonance
Through silence and the summer's ruing
I roam to leave it behind

The gleaming eyes of night
Hunters in the white darkness
Driven away by the inner fire
Born in a fearless heart

Farewell to the world in colours
Darkness has claimed its throne
The vastness of black horizons
Blindfolds the halcyon skies

Sing me a song of the night sky
Let me join in its cold resonance
Through silence and the summer's ruing
I roam to leave it behind

The gentle sweep of north wind sways the world to sleep
Untouched virgin snow like a shroud for the dead
