The icy dogs of hell below,
Pound their paws in pursuit.
Their beating tune twinning mine.

But there are singing larks of haven above,
They coax me closer.
Whistling hymns and ballads,
Little angels stealing my heart.

'Sanctuary!' you call,
You thump on the holy doors.
But torment calls to me,
Calls to me to run, and heave, and live.
