lyrics

ICICLE

In the cold of the night
Strong from the lack of light
Determined to win his fight
Firm in his convictions

Proud of the form he took
Confident in his looks
Aware of his lifecycle
The Icicle

Darkness turns into light
The temperatures rise
The battle begins
And he fights to survive

Forces of Nature
Say the odds aren’t with him
The melting begins
He becomes drained and weaker

Wounded but still alive
Damaged and compromised
Worried about his size
But he’s not broken

As he puts up a noble fight
Hangs on with all his might
The Sun retreats out of sight
And he’s won the day

Darkness arrives again
The temperatures drop
He licks his wounds
The bleeding has stopped

Comforted by the cold
The healing begins
He strengthens within
To face the Sun another day

But the Sun
He never seems to stop
Determined to be on top
He throws in everything he’s got

The days grow longer
And Icicle does his best
But the short nights provide no rest
He shrinks to less and less

He lost the battle
He knew the risk
He did his best
And he will be missed

But he left us something
Something so grand
Something so rich
He left his precious water

He lives in the flowers
He lives in the streams
He’s not forgotten
He gives us everything

And one day you’ll wake up
Only to find
That he has returned
