A Crack In The Ice

Dead calm

Raining all over me

Too late

Sense of mortality

Dark skies

Threaten to swallow me

Down to the flame

While my flesh and my bone melt away

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice

With the power of your hand

On the crack in the ice

 

Men

Raped and discarded

Are left dead

The vultures will feed on them

Lost cause

Tearing this life apart

Thrown to the flame

While my flesh and my bone melt away

 

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice

With the power of your hand

On the crack in the ice

 

Take this moment so close to my heart

You held the white rose out

Just before we parted

Take this moment so far away in dreams

I can feel the thorns bite

But the flower died, it seems

 

Hold this feeling so close to my heart

You brought the passion out

Just before we parted

Hold this feeling so far away in dreams

I can feel the thorns bite

But the flower starts to bleed

 

I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice

With the power of your hand

On the crack in the ice
