Lovely Cold Lyrics

Dust flies through the air
The weightless strings
Scintillating reminders of unknown struggles
Antediluvian fields caked with crimson
Encased in frigid air
Swallowed by northern ice
Within the glacial rocks
Their message still lies
Resting undisturbed
In a permanent state of torpor

Primordial civilizations vast in scope
Diminished by a fatal flaw
Competed for dominion
Their fate - unobserved
Their warning - unheeded

Artists' and philosophers' achievements
Musicians' works of art
Cast aside by lust -
What they were now is lost

Consumed by time, sealed for eternity
A frozen catacomb their sole legacy
The haughty creed of vainglorious lords
Locked their fate in the lovely cold
