Built on broken bones This empire stands alone The deadweight lost for The victory, the throne As if a judgement It comes to be I'm called to battle The frigid weather consumes me Lead or I shall not follow Iced out and hollow Like the lake: Lachrymose morose tides that break Deceive lest I not dwell Trapped in this ice hell Like heaven's spawn Hermetic tides stave off the dawn The rising light: it brings no warmth It is a lamp but not a torch The penalty for Securing lands man must not own Our visages windswept, ice-blown We are not known Pacing up day and night Clothes tearing in spite Of the frozen rain Cold too dense to numb the pain It freezes my desire All means naught to me Trailing endlessly Fuelled only by battery I am in frost I am in flame I feel no pain I feel no purpose At a loss Long may we reign Given to frost Give in to madness
