Once upon a time
In a place I did not know
There was a fire burning in the snow

I know

I know, I know
It's hard to believe
I was lost, never blind
I saw it with my own eyes


A falling tear crashed to the ground
Crystalized, it turned to ice
Glacial heart ignite
Burn in the pain of July

I gazed upon a field of
Frost flowers


Once upon a time
In a place I did not know
There was a fire burning in the snow

I know, I know
It's hard to believe
I was lost, never blind
I saw it with my own eyes


I saw that glacial heart ignite
Frost flowers wouldn't melt or vaporize
Not in these blazing flames of July

No, I don't
Know why


Would they be healed by an abyssal kiss?
Cured when fractal petals burn to ashes?
Or would these flames drive a glacial heart

To shatter these
Frost flowers


Once upon a time
In a place I did not know
There was a fire burning in the snow

I know, I know,
It's hard to believe
But I was lost, never blind
I saw it with my own eyes


And I would wager that
If I were to return
To that place I don't remember

I'm sure I would see
A fire melting
In the middle of
December
