In a cavern, far below the earth
Darkness could easily be found
Violet stones show their worth
Underneath the frozen ground

Shards, the likes of icy gems
Glisten, when they catch the light
But beauty hides the worst of them
They disappear, nowhere in sight

You cannot see the danger, when
You walk across the tundra
The cavern opens up its jaws, then
It carries you, down under

There’s no escape, from the well below
You’ve reached your eternal slumber
And they’ll go back to their violet glow
But your mind, will be torn asunder
