The pines smell sweet in the frozen air,and their silhoutte's just fading there,the wolves crouch close, against the snowbut where we're running I don't know,In villages and soft sad townsthe candles sway as night comes down,cold bones creak and strange beasts cry,watching shadows in the sky...All I have, all I need, all I got.....is providence. ~ Providence

On this very spot a great city once stood,It oozed with evil but it felt so good... ~ City
