Algid Troy - Dirge

Wordless shadow-play

Aching view

Algid Troy — ice made flesh

The great void — broken pledge

This hallowed strand

My beloved land

My dreams are but eidolons

Asleep in a vale of sand

Wait… sunken

Basement

Ashen

Crescent

For nothing… messiah

Dormant

Saviour

Torments

Crave… brazier, rodent

Dreading giants

Pyre, frozen

Winter, laments

Waive and feign…

De gel et de cendres

Un souffle à pierre fendre

Petrifying the sun

Snowing all around

Burn… flowers, wiltred

Ribbons, blackened

Wave in her hair

Like dying garlands

Yearn in vain…

Et à bridge abattue

Fuir le long de ces rivières

Le poison, la cigüe

Ce céladon de chair
