The empty cup, the cusp
A decaying soul in rust
Each breath a century
Each sleep an eternity
Though it all ends soon
No sun, no moon
Wanton beasts of frost
Gnashing jaws of ice
Piercing into the soul
The dying blackened soul
Inscribed in stone
And all alone
The psalm of undoing
The prayers of sudden death
Merciful instant death
Marks and stains
On every grain
Leaves turn to ash
Winter will not end
Days of dunnest grey
The stars and moon have died
The chill upon our Earth
Not near that which lurks inside
Blankets of death cover our death beds
Our seas are dead, our lands are dead
Winds of death carry our death throes
Our minds are dead, our lives are dead
Sleeping dead, dreaming dead
Screaming dead, waking dead
These plains have become an underground
Our Earth, Subterria
Bereft of sights or sounds
Our world, Subterria
A piercing wind
A tempest of fear
Falling from existence
Like tears
Glasslike skin, eyes of white
Blood flows no more
Withering life, world beneath the ice
Sun glows no more
Starless skies
Frown down on fields of pain
Falling from existence
Like rain
These plains have become an underground
Our Earth, Subterria
Bereft of sights or sounds
Our world, Subterria
The judgement passed
Criogenesis
Corpses of perdition
Apocalypse
Free the essence
The elixer of air
Carrying the bodies
To the edge of the Earth
Empty eyes
Morbid seas
Wandering they die
Radiation
Subterria
