[Verse]
Cold winds howl
Skin turns gray
Fingers snap
The frost will slay
Cracking bones
The ice betrays
Shadows stretch
Eternal haze
Nature’s wrath
Unchained
Untamed!

[Prechorus]
Clarinet cries
Sorrow bends
Screams erupt
No amends

[Chorus]
Frozen abyss! The world is numb!
Doom descends! No light
No sun!
Frozen abyss! A shattered cry!
All will kneel
Or all will die!

[Verse 2]
Harpsichord weeps
Echoes bleak
Notes of frost
So sharp
So weak
Drums of jazz
Chaos flows
Fingers twitch as the cold grows
No escape. The frostbite knows

[Prechorus]
Tortured screams pierce the void
Despair reigns
Souls destroyed

[Chorus]
Frozen abyss! The world is numb!
Doom descends! No light
No sun!
Frozen abyss! A shattered cry!
All will kneel
Or all will die!

Frozen Abyssal Symphony

“Crossing the Rubicon” is a song about the moment of irreversible choice—the inner turning point when fear gives way to conviction. The lyrics transform Caesar’s historic defiance into a personal metaphor for breaking free from stagnation and false safety. The bridge and river become symbols of conscience and destiny: to cross is to abandon the comfort of hesitation and step into authenticity, even when the outcome is unknown. There is no heroism in conquest here—only the quiet courage of transformation, the decision to live truthfully. The act of crossing becomes both an ending and a rebirth, echoing the central Eternal Thresholds theme that every beginning demands the surrender of an old world.

Caesar’s Crossing & the Point of No Return
•	In January 49 BCE (often dated to the night of 10-11 January) Julius Caesar, then governor of Cisalpine Gaul, led one of his legions across the Rubicon and marched into Italy, defying the Senate’s demand that he disband his army and return as a private citizen.  
•	By doing so he ignited the Roman Civil War, a conflict between Caesar and his allies on one side, and the Senate and Pompey on the other, ultimately culminating in the end of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.  
•	According to ancient sources like Suetonius, Caesar uttered the phrase “alea iacta est” (Latin for “the die is cast”) as he crossed, signifying the irrevocability of his action.  
Because of this event, the phrase “to cross the Rubicon” has entered modern parlance as an idiom meaning “to pass a point of no return”: a decisive commitment to a course of action from which there is no turning back.  

“The Night of the Rubicon”
The rain had been falling since dusk, soft but relentless, a thousand silver threads on the windscreen. Marcus sat in the idling car, the bridge lights wavering in the puddles ahead. On the navigation app, the river was a thin blue line — unnamed, unimportant — yet to him it felt ancient. The Rubicon. Behind him lay the old life: the safety of deferral, the contract he didn’t believe in, the apartment filled with things that belonged to a version of himself he no longer recognised. In the glove compartment was the letter — unsigned but written — that would end ten years of polite obedience. He could still turn back. He could delete the message, go home, apologise to no one and everyone. But he remembered Caesar, standing at another river two thousand years ago, knowing that by stepping forward he would unmake one world and invent another. Not out of arrogance, but necessity. There are moments when the bridge itself demands to be crossed — when inaction becomes a greater betrayal than risk. Marcus turned off the engine. The silence was immense. He opened the door and stepped into the rain. Water soaked his shoes instantly; he barely noticed. Each footfall echoed on the metal planks like a drumbeat — small, steady, final. Halfway across, he looked down at the dark water.
“This is it,” he whispered. “The die is cast.” On the far side of the bridge, he did not feel triumphant. Only light — faint, electric — and a strange, trembling calm. The old world was still there, behind him, whispering. But the river had closed its mirror, and he could no longer see his reflection in it. He walked on.
