Time for sleep
 Time for prayers
 Grit in teeth
 All things pass
 Death and deeds

Break the black ice

In this earth
 In this town
 In this land
 In this hour
 In this time
 For this age
 In this flesh
 In this joining

Break the black ice

In this spasm
 In this jerk
 In this cry
 little death
 For this boy
 Little screams
 little blood
 [bad word] 

Break the black ice

In this kiss . . . not yours not mine
 In this curse. . . not yours not mine
 In this kiss . . . not yours not mine
 In this curse . . . not yours not mine
