Utter a word
But it's eaten, swallowed whole
Into oblivion, into the snow

The world still and empty stands there
Air is stained by snow
The sky is black and hollow

The roads lay black with pitch
The snow turns them gray
And yet you fail to find your way through it all

Isolation reigns like an idol
Idyllic sights of whitened woods
Swallowed whole by the night once more
