Just a few feet and we could meet
But the clouds hang low to hinder my feat
The snow caves in entrapping sin
And the stake is driven through a heart; his kin
Cracks ring through the hull once true
Never again would the sky reign blue
For fire comes with the sound of drums
In tune to the final melody he hums
Black now boss as he carries this cross
Onward to her grave so he may emboss
What was the past laid in this cast
As the flag above will fly half-mast
