Paagtheaan - Hoarfrost

Frost of wintery glades
Birthed in snow and ice
Pass through the gates
Drift in frigid waves
Night shall bare no dawn
Veiled eternal night
Bound in icy chains
Chrysalis of white

Sullen horizons, cold
Frozen lands of old

By starlight guided northbound
Through drifts of ice
Wintery throne of despair
and stoic might
The winds go silent
and skies grow dark
Arboreal flashes northward
Beckon to us

Frozen waves in clouds of ice
Winds of winter rage in frozen might
Carrion pallor, these frozen steeps of hell
Deathlike silence, forever left to dwell

The northlands
Their icy sheets, unbearable cold
Pure, untainted by man
Vestige of white

Glacial drifts
Crawling seaward
Great citadels
of cobalt stone
Wandering giants
Guardians
Ivory planes, sacramental

Pallid vale sanctified

Voice of thunder
Silence broken
From the tide, risen
Hear the thunderous waves
Walls of water
Tarry on
Upon the shores
A new presence...
