No Dawn

The snow falls silently 'cross the coomb

The wind's howl echoing through the crags

Alone I watch the season's throes

Here at world's end where no life roams

North of sun's light

Under a winter's moon

In pale white night

A blissful solitude

Far away from fear, love, hate

Memories too faint to feel pain

Alone, I, whisper to the cold

Here, at one with soil and stone

These dead mountains I call home

To these bleak woods I speak my woes

Above barren lands, under godless skies

Here I remain until I die

For days immemorial

Reflecting on uncounted years

Hearing the cries of friend and foe

Watching the death of the world below

Shadows taunt my name

Oathbreaker, exile, forsaken

Shade no longer my shelter

Voices pull me from my slumber

I once looked upon the plains

I once spoke the names of the world

I once walked without fear

I once knew love

Wandering far from here

Away from this cursed gloom

Returning to distant memories

Flames that burn anew

Along frozen lakeshores

Across seas of ice

Daylight welcomes me home

South of winter's bite

These dead mountains I call home

To these bleak woods I speak my woes

Above barren lands, under godless skies

Here I return when I die
