Cold is my love for you,
No longer warm, no longer true,
Separated at fracture points,
I'll raise a wall between us, one you cannot cross,
This world belongs to noble creatures, lichens and moss,
No further shall vines cross,
For I've given you winter everlasting...

Her snakeshead are all dead,
According to all that is said,
For on that night seven years ago,
Venom was diluted by song and cast away,
Seeping into the snowfields of mount Hasgar,
A region of rolling serpentine hills turned into a lifeless glacier,
Many Sharins ago...

Andulan remembered all of it,
The screams and pleas for mercy,
All music to her covered ears,
She heard what she deserved.
It felt good to let the beast out into the open,
Allowing it to feed on the blood of others for a change,
Euphoria and grace swept through her halls once more,
A weightless little princess, escorted by green serpents,
Gathered from choice stock and taught the value,
Of unconditional love.

Allegiance stood aside,
As did red and black suspicion.
John opened the door with his voice,
While Cornelius stood unrobed, his command nullified,
He didn't stop them,
Polearms bought without coin,
Stolen from thieves plundering life itself,
Uncrossed and moved aside for seven reasons.

Rick saw it first, black smoke that couldn't be.
Immediately eased his bowstring, leaping off the window free,
Cornelius, John and the merry three,
Were caught off guard and put to grief,
Rick's sorrow and building agitation,
Made his hands limp and cold, his bow slipped free,
His legs turned back to wood, decaying rapidly,
Paul was wrong she, isn't sleeping peacefully...

On behalf of Sharin's legacy,
Her will passed on to him,
He upheld her ideals as he mouthed the words,
It's what Sharin would have wanted.
Christopher, Albert and Richard the wise,
Broke into song to no one's surprise,
It was a day for clearing skies.

Fires both red and orange,
Danced around a yellow core,
As doors reduced to time-lapsed ash,
Awaited a push to bring next state to present.
Matthew dragging Janet, along as bait around a hook.
Found a way beyond the horrors something had shared with them,
Recorded silently.
