Wintry Misanthropy

With delight I watch it all fade

Those bare hands reaching for the sky

To catch the dying light

As now, the sun is gone, far away

Breaths are spread across the land

To shake of them, who still stand

Down towards the rotting bottoms

Behold the world, greatest graves of them all

Hear humidity turning to frost with cracks

That acknowledge you all, that it's all over (now)

Dusks have become eternal darkness

And thus the shadows wander

Searching for human prey

They can't resist anymore the thirst

To possess the warmth of their blood

And the dripping sound of it coming

Slowly passing beneath the ground

Finally the shadows grow inside you

And with eyes you caress the sky

Bringer of relief

Outbrake of frost, embracing

Yet, the pounding under the surface remains

Endlessly awaiting
