The long way north to release them all
Among the earth, they go
Break free from the ice that entangles the world
An ancient curse above
The harder the ground, the lower the fall
A wound upon the bone
Like sand in the gale, they scatter away

The rays of the sun where all has begun
The waters overflow
These broken shells: their mortal remains
The shatter of the form
Once you could embrace them touching the air
The sand returns to stone
The layers of ice that cover the skin
Finding a way to emerge from within
Carrying the weight of the world
