this endless cold causes pitch black pain 
muscles ignore signals from my brain 
the relentless wind of an ancient storm grows 
fear of death seizes my thoats and my blood barely flows 

turn your spirits west to a warmer place 
stranded, abandon, leaving home for a change of pace 
old man winter's reign will soon be dead 
barren, wasteland, arm in arm to where the sun burns red 

locked in my head a deviant mind in control 
these idle hands laboring to callous my soul 
let's make a pilgrimage from this ruthless land 
an endless summer awaits in an ocean of sand 

turn your spirits west to a warmer place 
stranded, abandon, leaving home for a change of pace 
old man winter's reign will soon be dead 
barren, wasteland, arm in arm to where the sun burns red 

frozen trucks and i can't skate 
each breathe is hell's eternal hate 
tormented dog condemned to a cage 
rotting and convulsing with rage 
a fetid mind aborts all thought 
a forfeit match that won't be fought 
this winter's chill has struck more than bone 
kept me from joy and left me alone
