about

Originally on the Seasons of Attrition EP, we rerecorded December's End with a new arrangement.

lyrics

Ash and alabaster
Buried century
No headstones to describe
The silence beneath
Wastes bled white
Unbroken miles shriek
Grim winds standing guard
For what fools would unleash

Dread swords in slumber
Forged from hate and aggression
Armaments of cold disdain

Woe awaits
Devastation
Deferred but unrelenting

Though we stand at December’s end
The winter rages on
Our frozen fears are never far
Until the ice has come to thaw

Patient pestilence aplenty
Persisting under the ice
Hidden from sight and mind, they linger
'til the worms shall have their turn

All walls shall crack
From frost and thaw
The plans of man
Castles of straw

How many grim relics remain?
Endowments of infirmity
The legacy of bloodless feuds
From forestalled enmity to total ruin

Permafrost to slush
The glaciers weep
Dead oceans stretch their fingers
All borders erased
When warmer winters rage
And shielding snows subside
The flotsam on the rising seas
Shall bear an ill tide

Dread swords in slumber
Forged from hate and aggression
Armaments of cold disdain

Woe awaits
Devastation
Deferred but unrelenting

Though we stand at December’s end
The winter rages on
Our frozen fears are never far
Until the ice has come to thaw
