1617: V. Ice Trials Lyrics

It's 28 Savage, outside and yet so frigid

I'm livid, yet still so sick of living, can't you see?

It's hard to be, the way I am not

But I guess that means I'll always lack the power to be able to make it stop!

I'm caught in submission, lack the power to solve this mission

I'm in a stitch, if I was anyone else it'd be over in a cinch

I pinch myself to try and see if it's a nightmare I'm in

But I'm just a slave to this brothel of sin

Cause I, can't break free of my enemies

Be it the people around me or my, lethargy

My laziness becomes craziness

I sacrifice my sanity or else rage persists

And I, make bad choices

I, get exploited

Be it, the people around me or my, own emotions

So forget this dream we have

This sad farce is all we've ever had, oh!

1617, 1617

A day of torture, of pain and lies

Riddles with no answers, distress that turns to anger

But the clock keeps going, as we move towards disaster

1617, 1617

Stripped to my skin, and the heat becomes thin

I cry out, but no one seems to see

Now tell me, what's it gonna be?

1617, 1617

I'm weak, I just hide behind my face

My strength in reality, is actually just a fallacy

It's clear to see that I'm writhing in agony

1617, 1617

Just a little longer

After you'll be free

But until then, you're gonna have to put on a façade

Living in a world, you know is flawed

I need to cross the River Styx

Or death is imminent

Burning to ash, or being frozen in innocence

Time is fleeting, but I can't

See what's on the other side

Is my fate sealed?

Is it a trap, is it a farce, am I bound to this?

Does my life end here, is it as good as finished?

I'd rather stay frozen, I wish time would stop

Yet as the seasons change, and as the birds flock

The ice melts, the river shows no mercy to those who stay

But I'm too weak to not get swept away

I need to cross the River Styx

Or death is imminent

Burning to ash, or being frozen in innocence

Time is fleeting, but I can't

See what's on the other side

Is my fate sealed?

Is it a trap, is it a farce, am I bound to this?

Does my life end here, is it as good as finished?

I'd rather stay frozen, I wish time would stop

Yet as the seasons change, and as the birds flock

The ice melts, the river shows no mercy to those who stay

But I'm too weak to not get swept away

This path is not for the faint of heart

They'll be, constant obstacles along your way

But in, this vitriol of murky waters

Is a calming voice that lights the way

These sudden chills, along my skin

Though I'm frozen to the core

This ice, hard as rock protects me

I can breathe, once more
