Erebus and Terror

Close your eyes
 Let the cold take your life
 Close your eyes
 No power to continue
 Don't you move
 We can be as one
 And I will be your air
 When you are frozen in despair
 Child, consider your ways
 And I will be your air
 And I will be your air
 With trepidation
 We moved across the sea
 Erebus and Terror
 Chariots of infamy
 In fervent turmoil
 The ocean closed in
 The waters hardened
 Ill became the wind
 And as we lay down our frail men
 These words echo eternal
 Thus saith the lord of hosts
 Consider your ways
 Our lungs were burning
 Our limbs were atrophied
 Minds sick with fever
 Bodies shocked with disease
 The lead weight of sorrow
 Crushed all trace of sanity
 Creatures we became
 Lost of human dignity
 Beneath the lurid spell
 Of the arctic night time sky
 Monsters we became
 As humanity slipped away
 Our dead remained unburied
 Their flesh was consumed
 Naught but bones remained
 And we were transformed
 From such sickening horror
 No man could return
 As though lycans we changed
 Men warped forever
 In the wake of a winter moon
 Envy for the three
 We planted early
 Safe in stasis
 In permafrost tombs
 Eternal sleep
 But with eyes opened wide
 By icy digits
 To find oneself
 Shrouded in darkness
 Envious of Hartnell
 Torrington and Braine
 For they escaped with their souls
 In death, in stasis
 Frozen, entombed
 Oh, how we have longed
 For the fires that await us
 In the pits of some eternal damnation
 Oh, how we have longed
 To be released from this burden
 Bound to this isle of endless cold
 Yet I could swear
 That the moon sings so sweetly
 Songs of men
 Not so tied by humanity
 The words of our lord have fallen silent
 As we have turned our backs
 And retreated into darkness
