Seasons of Decay
The long awaited apostasy
Treachery is ecstasy
Summer’s self-satisfaction
The cleverest of distractions
All the while dead things grow
Creep of power crawling low
I am coming for you breathing frost
No ocean no desert too large to cross
Warmth and heat will choke on blood
As Winter swarms with its icy flood
The seasons change they always change
You tiny people will feel it’s full range
As seasons turn to decay
As you beg for green to stay
Now remember as you breathe me in
Remember Winter will always win
