Weep of all white

Weighted faces of misery

Weep of all white

As the rivers run - of dying swans

Contorting to ruin

From the aqueducts of anguish

Persistence / Always

The colossus of pain, of mind and bone, melting tow

Of the maudlin creases, to heave, bereave

Veins seep the valleys

Like bloated worms of the earth

The gravity, the burden, the will

Draping clouded skin

Breathing against the current

Drowning in bitterness

Beloved frailty

The perpetual strain

The strain

Senescent

Estranged

Time-scapes grind

The flowing form

Stretched across mould

Degenerating

From the fractures

Of antiquity

The everlasting lies - all lies

The lies of all flesh...

Piercing the silence

The deafening dawn

Against the rising sun

The fading pulse

Echoes of life

We are

All paths converge

Descent upon descent

The great cleansing

The age of cold

Old

Glacial

Old
