Arctic Light

Here we rest in dreamless slumber

Anchored to something that I extol



Over pristine immensity

Caught in an cyclopian vice

A doomed eternal destiny

A most ferocious guise



Like a cold glaucomatous stare

Through this crystalline pathway

Ne'er lose our earthly heir

A crashing ethereal cascade



This life, our punishment

An all-surrounding wintry gloom

Enswathed in nothingness

Stuck in an unsurpassable loop



Arctic hysteria, spirit me away

I wish to leave your land

I wish to forget, I wish to die

Arctic light, shine on me

Lead me home, make me whole



Oh cold white death, I am you

Arctic light, shine on me

I am home, am I you?



The sky ripples in an auroral dance

A last glimmer of hope

We gaze upon this vast expanse

Remember these final polar years



The dimming of the northern star

One last breath before the curtains fall
