Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:

Winters cold, I’m frozen like the snow/ Reclusive in the dark, nobody but my own/ They keep saying it’s nothing, but it’s gotta be this home/ Evil’s always present, like I’m boxed in with a ghost/ There’s not a lot of hope, so keep me on the right path/ Cuz if I stray left, I might not find the light back/ Now it starts to dim, little vision, cuz my sight’s bad/ Blinded by the Devil while I’m YELLIN “Where is Christ at?”/ Spring is far, when leaves are turning green again/ But right now it’s a cycle, it’s cold and I don’t see an end/ The air is thick, I feel like I can’t breathe it in/ Hell on Earth is coming, time to stop it, ‘for WE descend/ And as the flames rise up, it’ll melt the snow/ No more blanket of white, we’re left here with the hellish glow/ All this selfish deception, we built the Devil’s stepping stones/ Right up to the stairway to heaven, and we just let it go/

Verse 2:

What's it take for me to get it through your fuckin skulls?/ Divided in a United nation, there's something wrong/ But we keep fuelin' the fire, it's like we fund cause/ And people still linger cold , emotions under-thawed/ We're bound to plummet off, this tilted axis/ Cuz negative practice only kindles a chain reaction/ The cold inside these lies, no one is ever candid/ An Ice Age is comin' the destruction of our planet/ havin trouble understanding? It's comin' back around again/ The people of the sun will tell ya, it isn't counterfeit/ I can hear those footsteps start to pound the wind/ oblivion is whisperin' and I don't like the sound of it/ So ride the storm out, it's bound to get worse/ But the calm is just upon us, all the clouds will disperse/ Greener leaves will be the reason from the sprouts that emerge/ And all the trees will start to feed from the fountain of birth/ 


Verse 3:

Best get ready for the thaw, cuz it's coming soon/ I'm wiping out hoards daily, like it's the stomach flu/ Thinkin' you got that flower power, y'all just under-bloomed/ I'll leave you as a waypoint, on Annapurna's summit stoop/ They keep asking why I did it, "What's the truth?"/****  So people on the climb can pass your body for the fucking VIEW/ Better board up your rooms, El Nino's ridin' in/ Production that was murdered by evil verses and violent winds/ So best believe right after I break this block of ice/ You'll never see me frozen again, there IS no stoppin' twice/ Cuz it's been over a decade that I've been rockin mics/ It's time to get a grip on this music, so let me lock the vice/ See winter's slow, but it's time to shake the cold/ So just prep for better weather, may it ever make it's approach/ And it could be 'round the corner, I'm not sayin' it's close/ But I'll never fade away into the grey like a   ghost/
