The world may end in fire or in ice

But what does it matter?

Winter will come and gnaw at us all

Till half out sanity is gone

Huddling under the covers, alone until dawn

The curtains can remain closed, I don't intend to be here long

In fact, I never planned to be here at all

I found you humans amongst the games

Burning

Under your heart's own gaze

Lambs raised for the slaughter

Fighting forever

For your sons and daughters

Here in the shallows, bullets fly

Like buzzards circling prey from the sky

The wounded cry and scream

Grasping at me

But they are beyond my help

As aimless as drifting kelp

Round and round we go

When will this end?

I don't know
