Permafrost Promise

[Verse 1]
The last sun dipped, a dimming lighthouse on the lake's cold glass,
Our woven threads, a permafrost promise, designed to outlast the passing of seasons.
The air grew sharp, a metallic tang of parting against the fading light,
But in our eyes, a shared aurora, burning fierce and bright through the coming night.

[Chorus]
Permafrost Promise, holding fast, holding true.
A steady signal, cutting through the vast, indifferent arctic blue.
No distant foghorn could ever break this enduring sound,
Our quiet momentum, forever bound, on northern ground.

[Verse 2]
The camp's old hum, a memory now, beneath layers of Murmansk snow and silence,
Your whispered words, an echo of summer's warmth, refusing the cold's insistence.
We signed our names in tiny knots, against the vast, indifferent sky,
A hidden warmth to brave the future, as endless polar winters fly.

[Bridge]
Like ice cracks forming, then holding firm against the northern blast,
This quiet resilience, a future built on promises that will eternally last.
A vibrant thaw in silence, a subtle shift, a compass point unseen,
Where memory and dream blur, on the icy sheen of what has been.

[Outro]
Our permafrost promise, shining bright.
A triumph through the long polar night.
