A lonely erruption of ice and snow breaks forth from the landscape
a harrowing sillouette in eternal twilight
A lonely king sits upon his icy throne
left to die, trapped in the majesty of his frozen palace
he delights only in the stasis of the memories that surround him
ever present, permanently lost to devastating cold
the cruel irony of a timeless treasure
satan the deciever promised the king
that his reign would remain
a permanent fixture and a perfect preserve
of the king's power
majesty
and love
this fearful ruler
welcomed a devil's bargain
to escape the bitterness
of death and loss
all that remains, is everything
nothing is lost
save for the king
triumphant and swallowed by the horde of his own glory
