Deep inside your valley You are cold Your pulse beats hard Your life's blood quickens Yet a stillness Ice that thickens Spreads in shards Toward your heart
Your body betrays you Tense beneath The touch you loved Once held so special Now repulses Every fibre Of your skin Your meat/bone case
Deep inside your valley There are stones Fossils, extinct Dinosaurs and beasts Of pleasure, lust Felt long ago When they lived And you still laughed
Humour fled these mountains Stony folds Now lie dormant Their fire put out No dalliance To excite Your valley's night
