To a place nameless i make reticent return
where a heart of fire did once burn
Gone having been exposed, to ice and wind
frosted over by the bitter cold
a survival trail impossible to the unfit
where souls evaporate bit by bit
extracted a pound of flesh, pints of blood
a fair exchange for that ounce of love
the mysteries uncovered during travels task
behind the walls sat grotesque masks
weathered to the bone left with only skin
the sheer realization established once again
for this journey heeds no direction
for it's just a map of my own reflection
