Journey into the Eternal Winter

At the end of all time
Is a winter night, vast and eternal
All life is stopped
By a frost, biting and cold

This is where it all ends:
Under a cold, starlit sky,
Between ancient mountains
In an unforgiving land.
Leafless trees, frozen in silence
Point gnarled branches
As if to lay blame
At the roots of another

Flakes of snow gently fall
In a cold dark silence
Trees dressed as white tombstones
Dot the dead landscape

Journey into the eternal winter,
Through white frost and endless cold
In a forsaken place of sorrow
Time stands still and silence reigns

I wander into the snowstorm,
A final journey for this mortal form,
A body that shall never be found
Even should sun melt the ice on this ground

This is where it all ends:
Under a cold, starlit sky,
Between ancient mountains
In an unforgiving land.
Leafless trees, frozen in silence
Point gnarled branches
As if to lay blame
At the roots of another

Journey into the eternal winter,
Through white frost and endless cold
In a forsaken place of sorrow
Time stands still and silence reigns
