Of Ice and Ember Video (MV)

The fires extend
Their palms up to the sky
Against the grasp of shadows
Deep in the palace of frost
The cold winds soar up above
And graze the earth below
The reign of Perihelion
I behold
The caress of flame
To soothe the lash of ice
Descending breath of winter
The barren arctic tide
I am imbued by the force
That guides this cyclic rebirth
The Endless One to whom I soon
Shall return
If I shall meet my fate
When the flames recede
Then I accept this destiny
For this wicked world
Has fallen far too cold
Than any age
Has ever known
But this my prayer
O Spirit of the North
Grant me at the least
This final humble request
May your benign subjects
Accompany me
For the blunders of man
Have but chased away such grace
I offer my obeisances
O mighty one
May all who dare
Pervert your kingdom
Taste the bite of your icy scythe
Lone in winter's maw
Whose howling winds
Haunt the pine
Know this soul
At your mercy
Is of Ice and Ember
Like unto thee
Palms toward the solitary heat
A mirror of the sun and stars
As the blackened astral plains
Vast and dark
Are illuminated
Draped beneath the freezing shroud
In silence
In glacial repose
Hours pass as gleaming warmth
Captures this weary gaze
I bask in the amber haze
And feel the barrier wearing thin
Between the worldly planes
Thus a sense of reverence
As spirits pass through the flames
To become something else
Within the subtle panes
Of materiality
And yet the embers dancing bright
Are subtle echoes
Of those wandering through
And deep within
This unfettered mind
Resounding hope is rekindling
As the fires glow with ambition
Not unlike this heart
Aurora light the way
Come bear your splendor
I see your shape
You are the strokes of light
That leap throughout the firmament
Luminescent vulpine visage
I implore
Cosmic tails upon the night
Ignite the blaze
All across the northern sky
As the Wildhunt takes to flight
Riding with the ether charge
A radiant display
Hordes of winter fury storm
On winds of a deathless tide
The flair of nebula
I rise in awe of all I witness
Flurry of strength
And vengeance divine
No force could ever suppress
The arcane grace of the past
For the enemy has failed
Souls so hardened by the cold
And several times reborn
Burn bright with eternal glow
We are the Ember
