Midnight Sun
I have seen ancient rivers of silver Glacial plains fading into blue light I have stood on frozen thunder Hunched in storms through an endless night Voices call from a howling wasteland "Feel your hunger and hold your tongue Surrender here your fatal yearning There's no shelter for those who come to the midnight sun" Winter steals beneath a rainbow curtain Oceans freeze, the weeks melt into the years I've scaled heights of beauty and wonder Known despair and the depths of fear Stumbling wide at the limits of the compass Fur and canvass in the wilderness of pain You can lose your mind in the panic of snow blindness Icy winds strike you deaf and numb at the midnight sun None but cowards seek badges of courage Only fools seek the trappings of fame There's no conquest just an endless striving There's no glory just a restless flame No man's land white desert ice mountains Beyond the pole let the reckless come Bathed in light an infinity of silence Cleanse the soul leave the senses stunned at the midnight sun
