A crack in the ice

Dead calm
raining all over me
too late
sense of mortality
dark skies
threaten to swallow me
down to the flame
while my flesh and my bone melt away
i defy you to stand on the crack in the ice
with the power of your hand
on the crack in the ice
Men
raped and discarded
are left dead
the vultures will feed on them
lost cause
tearing this life apart
thrown to the flame
while my flesh and my bone melt away
I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice
with the power of your hand
on the crack in the ice
Take this moment so close to my heart
you held the white rose out
just before we parted
take this moment so far away in dreams
i can feel the thorns bite
but the flower died, it seems
Hold this feeling so close to my heart
you brought the passion out
just before we parted
hold this feeling so far away in dreams
i can feel the thorns bite
but the flower starts to bleed
I defy you to stand on the crack in the ice
with the power of your hand
on the crack in the ice
