"I will live and will not die"
Is what she told me
Now the dark oceans of her eyes
Grow still and frozen
I lay her out on the open clear
Where she's still suited and covered
Did she know those words were
The last I'd ever hear
Two years of soundless night
We came on you looming
Found your pale, unwavering eye
Had foreseen our coming
Descending on the Conamara
Did we fall like matches?
Or maybe more like ashes
On miles and miles of ice
In your arms ancient goddess
No sun will rise to ease the cold
From this vantage of darkness
A pale, blue star's light is fading low
Seven miles down ice and stone
Fourteen months of drilling
We finally strike the oceans of your womb
Just to find that you're barren
Oh, the madness that drove us to this
A mistress so neglected
To her bitter breasts will
Clutch you even long past death
In your arms ancient goddess
No sun will rise to ease the cold
From this vantage of darkness
A pale blue star's light is fading low
Every mind gonna slide straight in the dark
Every star burn hard just to be snuffed out
Every flame gonna wane, gonna break
Beneath that blinding winter
But you're a queen besieging every fire that dies
You ascend, avenging on a throne of ice
We the fools you drew so you
Could hang us on your neck like silver
In your arms ancient goddess
No sun will rise to ease the cold
From this vantage of darkness
A pale blue star's light is fading low
"I will live and will not die"
Is what you're telling me
