Shimmering snow covers a path we all fear, but this time there’s no turning back
To say my goodbyes, if only within my own heart, as life starts to spill from my eyes
Soul parts with flesh, it watches a shell marching on, as ice underneath starts to crack
No panic or dread, slowly I sink ’neath the waves, forever embracing the fathomless black
And one winter day it all seemed to finally break, revealing a sonorous truth
I never had known such sadness could live in us all, it stands with no chance to elude
Only when you’re at your lowest, shattered, frantically searching with no one to reach
You’ll learn the true meaning of silence…
Bereft of the credulous hopes, yet finally free
