Duskbound Laments

in the coldness of

the frozen ground

underneath the weight

a silent breath goes down

but through the cold

and the dust

a heavy heartbeat starts to rise

breaking through the quiet lies

surviving in the cold dark

rising high above the ash

a song of heavy triumph

from the deep depths of despair I found my way

the scars remain cold

and the night is long

but deep in this iron chest

I'm building something strong
