Long North

Long North

Long Time Gone North

Ago, an age, a restless memory

I held it in my heart so long

And never opened it

Like the music box resting

Peacefully silent in my room

The cold ground is freezing

Over me, it does not hurt anymore

But I do feel something deep

Inside -it's buring- hurts!

It rises in my throat, spreads

Through my veins, my blood

It pumps ever faster, harder

Oh! Such misery, I'm fire spreading

Me, I'm burning, died, and hurting

The ground is freezing, I'm here

All alone in the North

When did I get here?

I'll never leave

It's been so long, my room

Is empty of me, but my smell remains

As the silent music box grows dusty
