Lyrics by Mike Patterson

The Ides of December: Far from my home, I'm chilled to the bone better pass this test or I pass away here Snowblind, I'm out of my mind Gotta get a grip, not be gripped by fear here So cold! Deceptively calm, but off in the distance, I know there's a storm closing in, then out go the lights It happens tonight, better get prepared now This is the silent storm That feeds from within Anxiety reborn before it begins Cold and jaded, complicated It's closing in Don't try to hold us down We'll fight till the end The Ides of December There's a calm descending right before the storm It's no tragedy Cause the cold will strip the meaningless away from the way home so we'll make a new destiny Urgent and intense... Must find a new sanctuary Spikes Rise, the mountains like knives that puncture the sky Gotta cut through them so... A detour, where death's almost sure still, that's better odds than if we stay below The snowbeast erupts from it's cave Its eyes burn like fire, hunger feeds the flames Its greed condemned it to fail now split head to tail, it's us who get to feed The Ides of December Celebrate, it looks like we made it Just luck, or was our destiny fated? Who cares! We left it behind Now before our eyes seems like Panacea Such fools! The Gods aren't so kind the lightning of Odin explodes from the sky Endure... peril is what we live for... Here we go! The next episode Don't try to hold us down
