Wrench it down –
Knives on ice,
Jagged sliver
Into marrow spliced.

Crush the wave
Bearing down,
Frozen rage
Fear’s bloodhound.

Let them fly –
Captives of the deep,
Dancing in the light,
Boundless in the sky.

Wrench down your sharp pain;
Stop your black wave-
Let fly your terrors:
All to crush the dark bane.
