To a Fire Dying Cold

______________

From the day you came to take her place,

You always were a friendly face.

By us all, you were loved and cherished,

But in the end, by ice you perished.

Frozen death by cruel winter's hand,

Your mission failed to save the land.

Shattering fire and prevailing frost,

All is gone and all is lost.

Frigid flesh and frozen flame;

For your death, no one you blame

But the frigid hand of ice.

Today you have died, and died you have twice.

Winter's deathly desire has frozen your fire.

To the stars you have gone, and to heaven you aspire.

Broken are your flames, and dead is your heart.

Your fire died cold, and today the grief will start.

Frigid death by silver snow.

Shush the wish of life, quoth the crow.

And away he flies on night-black wings,

The darkness and doom that consumes all things.
