This World Of Ice

Living dead or true survivors

In a world that’s twelve to five

Unaccomplished promises

Won’t keep us alive

All hope must be disregarded

‘Cause as we look into the sky

We might fall beneath the surface

And come across the lies

We don’t need to carry on

We don’t need to comprehend

And all we say is do or fail

‘Cause we all just missed the end

Hold on – take my hand

Promise all your lies

Hold on – stay with me

Perish in this world of ice

Once a sanctuary

Now conquered by a rat

Feasting on a roach it found

Sleeps in the company of the dead

And all our institutions

The facile and profound

And every brick of our ivory towers

Now lays scattered on the frozen ground

We don’t need to carry on

We don’t need to comprehend

And all we say is do or fail

‘Cause we all just missed the end

Hold on – take my hand

Promise all your lies

Hold on – stay with me

Perish in this world of ice
