In The Glacier's Eye - Hannes Grossmann

Close your eyes and see

The land of ice beneath cold lakes

Beyond the sea

To where the light retreats

Driven by its call elite

The glacier flows inside our sleep

Inner awakening of the earth

To which our deeds give birth

Cut the silent strain, we must remain

By the grace of winter

Our end’s suspense, great change commence

Too weak to survive in the glacier’s eye

The blade above us

Swings in rings towards us

A knife sharpened

By the force of darkness

Come forth you leaders!

The carbon concealers

Wreak momentum

In shadows of despair

Cut the silent strain, we must remain

By the grace of winter

Our end’s suspense, great change commence

Too weak to survive in the eyes of winter

Too weak to survive in the glacier’s eye
