Did they ever find him
The boy who died
The boy who perished
Under a sheet of ice
One Friday night in a
Youthful January
In a year long ago
Sadly forgotten
Did they ever find him
The boy who died
The boy who perished
Under a sheet of ice
Footprints left in cold
Winter's night
Snow thick across the
Frozen town bay
Did they ever find him
The boy who died
The boy who perished
Under a sheet of ice
Footprints ending at a
Hole in the brittle ice
Someone staggered
Homewards drunk
Did they ever find him
The boy who died
The boy who perished
Under a sheet of ice
I should have been there
I should have known
Something of dread
Would befall him
Did they ever find him
The boy who died
The boy who perished
Under a sheet of ice
We were friends
We shared the music
Rocked every boat
Drank and grew together
Did they ever find him
The boy who died
The boy who perished
Under a sheet of ice
Did they ever find him
Magnus
The boy who died
a Magus
The boy who perished
returned some say
Under a sheet of ice
to a snow-covered hell
