Falling Snow Lyrics - Ashes Against The Grain - Agalloch

The water pours its embracing arms around the stone 

Decay drips from the unquiet void where the ice forms, where life ends 

The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed 

The red tide beyond the ebon wound, contorted 

My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory... a wave to end all time 

Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow 

To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies 

The snow, the bitter snowfall 

You wish to die in her pale arms, crystalline, to become an ode to silence 

In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen 

The cascading pallor of ghostless feather 

The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die 

and fade away in silence.
