Winter’s Gate, Pt. 6

Stumbling forward in knee deep snow The wind is whipping My face in frozen slashes Void of direction void of hope I call her name in the whiteout There amidst the raging coldness I catch her figure The fear of death is staring At me through her eyes Through the wind’s howl a scream now rises Something moves in the whirl of snow Creatures born out of winter’s furor Closing in on us! Through the cave’s mouth A crack in the stone wall i’m tearing my way Right into the dark A beast is rending the ground behind me Killing all the light! Hear the grinding of stone against stone I’m crawling deeper in the dark
