Brought back from the silence
As darkness whitened into a day
Tried to weave the pieces together

Force the past away

Mind weary of sorrow

Body tired from the way
Welcomed yet another morning
Of longing and dismay


What have I for you to offer
Besides this long haul

Wade across vast snowfields
Journey through endless moors


Death walked the earth today
Without a sound, motionless
Forced it's way into my arms

Caressed me with the dark

Dragged again up to surface

From the bowels of the earth
To face yet another morning
Breath gasping black steam of death


These are our waking hours
In cold sunlight we pine away

Towards yet another morning
Till following hopeless day
