Supernova (Part Three): Crawl

Crawl critters, crawl
On bended knees and broken thumbs
Crawl children, crawl
With absent minds and upturned hearts
Again, my friends, crawl
From some old desert: barren, cold
Ticking, dripping with a life
A constant dance of bleached, crossed bones
Crawl insects, crawl
No eyes shall find your conquered heart
Your rotting brain, without a thought
Or love will find your empty gaze.
Crawl infants, crawl
Across a frozen sea abounding
Just beyond an icy curtain.
Sealed and locked, and seeming safe
As tempting as tomorrow's fate
Crawl my lover, crawl
To find me on the other side
And with my warmth and gentle arms
I will be your soul protector
When biting frozen breezes
Bring a love to last the night.
