A world cold empty vain
void king deserves no name
Lost in ice forever cold
Bury now this decrepit soul
Cold as ice the wandering
Ever doth my heart to break
Will for me a maiden sing
Alas that siren no joy bring
No warmth in heart or hearth
No fire to light my joys
Am I broken still?
That my pen bleeds ill?
Nay I look to those I love
Even as I am numb
I am their void king, friend
In them my heart can mend
