Of oak ash and thorn
Fur hooves and horn
The embers still glow
Off the sheen of the snow
Our bones know this cold
From the days of old
We bare the mark
But darkness encroaches
And soon will enshrine
Like smothering tendrils
Dead on the vine
Knowing what must be done
To return to the sun
But there is no more life
on the surface to be found
We bare the mark

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss. cynothoglys
