Frozen stones

Between snow 
and frozen stones
You forget 
the bodies of those 
who fell before
in the battle for the throne

In the darkness, 
without a hand to hold

Why do you run a race 
that never ends?
Why do you wage a war 
that makes no sense?

The ice that bites
The wind that swings
The ropes you trust
More than the ground
They won’t change your thoughts
Not even the storm

In the darkness, 
without a hand to hold

Why do you run a race 
that never ends?
Why do you wage a war 
that makes no sense?

And I thank you 
for what I’ve learned.

Why do you run a race 
that never ends?
Why do you wage a war 
that makes no sense?
