Suspended and Frozen

Aeons pass before my eyes

And everything must die

And I have but wasted

And grown cold and grey

Show me, then, O ancient runes

Which might my langor soothe

The wisdom eternal

Of the ancient days

I can taste only the rain

I am bound ever to remain

Frozen and suspended

Away from Asgard's light

Frozen and forgotten

In blackest of the night

To gaze on stars of frost

To read the words arcane

To hold the elder days

And skin of old cast away

Spear in heart, I suffer still

And know not yet my fill

Of agony given

For the sacred ways

Endless days writhing in pain

I am bound ever to remain

Frozen and suspended

Away from Asgard's light

Frozen and forgotten

In blackest of the night

To gaze on stars of frost

To read the words arcane

To hold the elder days

And skin of old cast away

For hidden knowledge mine

I sacrifice

In everlasting time

Self-crucified

Burial celestial

In hidden boughs' embrace

Carrion perennial

The tangled roots, my grave

My body hanging still

I sacrifice

To my divinity

Self-crucified

Frozen and suspended

Away from Asgard's light

Frozen and forgotten

In blackest of the night

To gaze on stars of frost

To read the words arcane

To hold the elder days

And skin of old cast away
