Winter's Burden

Children of the fog we are

Ashes, ashes of the winter
Heaped upon blooming corpses of
summer

(Our) past... to bring?
(To) watch... the (k)nights fall
(To) await... the winter

To wait the ligth to enter
To light their tombs with new born
splendour

Children of the fog we are.
Bleak, impenetrable.
Gathering across the land
over city, moor-side and barrow

Cold hands we are.
Vice-like; as shackles
a'seeking out the throats of those

Who dare approach us with their candles
Silent as the grave we are

Hollow, watching, waiting
For the sun to rise on Solstice day

To lead our children away
To begin again, a world a'new
Kith and Kin a Spring to view.
