Falling Snow Lyrics



The water pours its embracing arms around the stone

Decay drips from the unquiet void where the ice forms, where life ends

The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed

The red tide beyond the ebon wound, contorted

My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory... a wave to end all time



Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow

To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies



The snow, the bitter snowfall

You long to die in her pale arms, crystalline, to become an ode to silence

In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen



The cascading pallor of ghostless feather

The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die

and fade away in silence
