(former title: That Which Will Never Be Frozen)

Swansong emerged trembling from a deep well
As it’s left behind to watch seasons pass by

[Female Screams:]
All I remember
Is lying eyes
Devoid

And spirits of Furies
Scream their fallacious temptation
In their comforting arms
They smother and take me closer
To the gates of obscurity

Most bloodred words have become a sea
These mirror waters call to be one with myself
Inside to dissolve, forever frozen to be

[Mezzo-soprano:]
An elegian morning will break
The shadows of my aesthesia

This madness is no longer restrained
And spirits of screaming Furies
Threaten with their smokey claws
Erelong they will evanesce
Not as their scars left on skin

[Screams:]
Scream and walk
Only a few steps
Away from cradle
Where hearts rest

Why has the sand in my hourglass stopped falling?
My sun dial has declined, it seems so
That which would never be frozen

[Operatic vocals and grunts:]
Gather in me storm!
Return to me sun!
Come back sanity!
Leave me without caress
