Harvest

9: Whiteout

Prayers in the wind
Are waving me godspeed
As I ascent into
the blue above my head
Through icefalls
widespread

Abode of snow
The roof of the world
In this freezing cold
my breath got uncontrolled
There's not enough air

In this place so high
Underneath the sky
Clouds are embering
As they're lit by morning sun
On the rising
Daybreak

Hour after hour
From camp to camp
At the summit day
The horizon blurred away
I couldn't see a thing

In this place so high
I was left to die
The holy mother
Bites with teeth of frost
And holds me
Till I'm gone

Prayers in the wind
Are fluttering godspeed
As I ascent into
the blue above my head
waving goodbye
