Bring down the snow,
the pelts of white as deep as death.

Smother your lonesome soul within the grasp of winter's tithe

And hang your vows from a dead sycamore's limbs
For words without reason will conjure death with black wings

Whisper the message that will save the voices:

Terror is only a sonnet sung from the pages of faces of unknown spirits.
