Glaciers - ThouShaltNot

Awaken the wolves

For my dreams have grown too quiet once again

Give me howling of footsteps

As time ambles drunk over tundra-glazed earth

Somewhere in the snow

Are the frozen tears and the teeth that battle broke

Twelve winters ago

When aging was living and murder was birth

Taste the cells dividing

All to come and all that’s been

See the glaciers fighting

Melting over, pushing underneath your skin

Surrender your warmth

To find where ice crystals end and body starts

We walk the line

Between breath and wind and death and gravity

Awaken the martyr inside

And the ground that’s solid, cold, and petrified

Before I open my eyes

Can you thaw this away and give my past to me?

Taste the cells dividing

All to come and all that’s been

See the glaciers fighting

Melting over, pushing underneath your skin

Awaken the wolves

When the January moon needs lullabies

Awaken the wolves

When the sun’s bright passion cannot reach the skies

Awaken the wolves

'Cause we’re all alone here on the plains of frost

Awaken the wolves

And when we wake ourselves, shall winter’s memory be lost?

Taste the cells dividing

All to come and all that’s been

See the glaciers fighting

Melting over, pushing underneath your skin
