about

This song is based upon true stories like The Donner Party, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 and Alferd Packer, where people get stranded in the snow with no food and have to resort to eating each other.

lyrics

Carried by frost bitten toes
We trudge on through the snow
With no hope we carry on
Will anyone even know we're gone?

Stranded a thousand miles from home
We're desperate and alone
We must stay alive
Consume those who don't survive

We've stained the snow with these sins
The brightest white to a dark crimson
As our lives follow the setting sun
Will we be forgiven for what we've done?

Stranded a thousand miles from home
We're desperate and alone
We must stay alive
Consume those who don't survive

WE'VE STAINED THE SNOW WITH OUR SINS
