Endless Winter

ORCHESTRAL INTRO (distant choir, pipe organ, rising strings) Ashes descend through cathedral air Like the remnants of worlds erased by grief The earth below me trembles Ancient Starless Cold CHORUS Crown me in frost beneath blood-painted skies Where dying worlds convulse and heaven petrifies I crossed the ruins of my youth through fire and decay Yet every wound I buried clawed its path back through the grave Choirs rose from towers draped in serpents made of snow While oceans froze around the chambers far below And somewhere deep beyond the storms consuming all I knew A darker soul emerged from everything I once went through VERSE I Iron horizons stretched like funeral spines Across colossal labyrinths abandoned by the divine The streets resembled veins inside a rotting beast Whose breath exhaled disease through every fractured artery Rain lashed the granite mouths of hollow monoliths While statues without faces wept blackened amethysts And every corridor I crossed became another scar Etched beneath the weight of unforgiving stars I saw phantoms moving behind shattered glass Their hands deformed like roots beneath cathedral ash Yet none possessed the horror coiling deep in me That endless swarm of memories refusing burial beneath the sea PRE-CHORUS No scriptures remain No sanctity survives Only the avalanche Inside my mind CHORUS Crown me in frost beneath blood-painted skies Where dying worlds convulse and heaven petrifies I crossed the ruins of my youth through fire and decay Yet every wound I buried clawed its path back through the grave Choirs rose from towers draped in serpents made of snow While oceans froze around the chambers far below And somewhere deep beyond the storms consuming all I knew A darker soul emerged from everything I once went through VERSE II Then through the blizzard moved a figure frail and pale A child wrapped in winters older than betrayal His vacant stare possessed the sorrow of the earth As though creation itself regretted giving birth He said no word Yet agony flowed from his gaze Like drowned processions drifting through forgotten mausoleums And when he reached toward me The tempest faltered The screaming inside my skull collapsed into distance For the first time in countless years I understood The monster hunting through these ruins wore my face SYMPHONIC ASCENSION (full orchestra erupts — blast beats beneath choirs) Great cathedrals split beneath crimson eclipses Mountains convulsed under torrents of cinder Celestial bodies burned like funeral pyres As colossal choirs surged through the heavens Violins spiraled like widows in madness Massive drums marched like execution rites And towering organs dragged their cursed harmonies Across the spine of creation itself Every grief Every humiliation Every scar Every fevered nightmare Rose from my flesh like ravens into the storm (slow, crushing, venomous) I was never salvation Never chosen Never reborn Only the residue Of violence inherited through generations A child abandoned inside collapsing winters Still searching the dark For hands that never came FINAL CHORUS (clean choir beneath harsh vocals) Now frost consumes the empire built within my chest The stars decay above a world denied all rest No throne awaits beyond the ruins of the sky Only endless snow descending where forgotten spirits die The earth grows smaller underneath collapsing spheres And sorrow dissolves through vast eternal years While choirs fade beyond the reaches of the storm I shed the final fragments of the shape I once performed OUTRO (solo piano, faint strings) Snow buried the towers The avenues The wounds The storm no longer followed me And far beyond the frozen wastelands of creation I drifted Weightless Into endless winter.
