Winter's Sting - Kiuas

New moon ascends to join the welkin so black

Thick sheets of white lie where I once lay

Stroking soft curls

Of talent for survival speak the claw-figured tracks

Winter’s sting breaks out the best in both beast and man

Gone is the light

The ice has buried

The last of those warm summer memories

New dreams in sight

For those who can see

There is strength in the darkness and secrets to be learned

Reach out for the new wisdom

Now is the time

Safe in your chamber

Let the cold wind blow

Build up your strength and knowledge

Don’t look behind

Enjoy and wonder your creation’s flow

Human emotions like seasons they change

Tender and sweet can be the touch of a hunter

Passionate nights just to pass the summer away

A heart hard as iron now beats strong but alone
