Burden

Burdened with pain the bitter cold bites within
Beneath the skin my blood flows like clay
Within my mind my the thoughts are a maze
That wanders within the cloudy haze
Silent screams within my soul
Beneath the pain I long to go

Swell with pain beyond the fire
To the rest, I lose my life's desire
With the breath, I take the solum howl
Before I shift I wonder now
So long have I lingered within the flame
The battle worn by solitude
Torn by fire I split the soul
The blood like ash the skin like stone

To fall from grace upon the dusty plain
Have been lost within my pain
Burdened with blood my heart is stone
For now I am lost within the bitter cold
The body will break as I turn the stone
And my soul yearns for the place that I call home
