The Dead of Winter
Eternal Winter's Embrace: Bryan Eckermann's Poetic Ode to Life and Death
Lyrics
Winter comes again
Winter symbolizes a recurring and inevitable period of hardship or difficulty.
The darkness falls
The onset of challenges or struggles is emphasized as darkness descends.
The light will not shine again
Hopelessness is expressed, suggesting a lack of anticipated relief or positive change.
The dawn of fear
A sense of impending fear emerges with the arrival of a new day.
The withered plains
The desolation of the landscape becomes apparent, possibly reflecting a harsh reality.
The mask of life tears away
The facade of life is forcefully removed, revealing harsh truths or vulnerabilities.
Death will bring life
Death is portrayed as a catalyst for new beginnings or transformations.
At least in vision
Despite its challenges, there is a glimpse of hope or insight during the experience of death.
Under the blades of ice
The inevitability of challenges is likened to facing sharp and unforgiving circumstances.
We will die
An acknowledgment of mortality and the acceptance of an imminent end.
Pray for the sun
A plea for relief or salvation, seeking the arrival of a brighter and better future.
To come for us all
An appeal for a positive change that encompasses everyone.
Escape this fate
The desire to escape a grim fate and avoid a downward spiral.
Never to fall
An aspiration to remain resilient and not succumb to challenges.
Or wither away
A plea to endure and resist deterioration or decline.
Until death's all I see...
A contemplation of mortality, with death looming as the predominant perspective.
