This Familiar shadow,
Sits so easily,
Beneath my skin.
Rooted in this pit,
I dug myself,
Beneath my feet.
A nine year cold,
Only once the sun rose,
And only for me,
A blinding light,
A blinding white.
I've ran so very far across the hands of the dead,
In my head.
Nine long years,
Since this fire died.
Nine long years,
I fought for life,
I fought for life.
Nine long years,
Since this fire died.
Nine long years,
I fought for life,
I fought for life.
Nine long years,
Since this fire died.
Nine long years,
I fought for life,
I fought for life.
Nine long years,
Since this fire died.
Nine long years,
I fought for life,
I fought for life.
Nine long years.
Nine long years.
(I fought for life).
(I fought for life).
Nine long years.
Nine long years.
(I fought for life).
(I fought for life).
Nine long years.
Nine long years.
Nine long years.
Nine long years,
Until the tenth year.
