Wormwood - 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
