about

Inspired by the story of The Donner Party.

lyrics

[VERSE I]
Stranded in this frozen expanse.
Frigid flesh splits from our bones.

[CHORUS I]
Our dissolution stalks us in these frozen fields.
Blade of death shimmers from beyond.
Our survival hinges on a bloody deed.
Forgive this transgression,
we know what we must do.

[VERSE II]
Gnashing teeth
Keening hearts.
Lamentations.
All forsaken.

[CHORUS II]
Our dissolutions stalks us in this frozen hell.
Death's blade poised above our heads.
The wailing of mothers haunts us deep within,
and now virgin snow is painted with the blood of our kin.

[ENDING]
Blackened souls.
Redemption lost.
Flesh consumed.
Beyond forgiveness.
We will survive, but with contrition in our hearts.
Is it a fate worse than death when our deeds haunt us to the grave?
