Richmont - Iceman (Otzi Mix) Lyrics

Analysis
Corpse preserved at 100% humidity
In glacial conditions
Approximate age
Five thousand years
Internal organs drastically shrunken

Barely distinguishable

Lungs hang like wisps of cloud in empty caverns
Partially digested stomach contents indicate pre-mortem meal comprising unleavened Bread of icorn wheat
Plant material
Possibly an herb or other green
Pollen, and meat

External hand wounds indicate recent combat
Arrowhead lodged deep within left shoulder
And the presence of personal possessions
Suggests ritual killing
Or chase
Skin tattooed, hair trimmed

Clothes of neatly stitched deerskin
Woven grass cape and leather shoes
Stuffed with grass for insulation
The birch bark box probably contained food supplies

There's a copper axe
A flint dagger
A yew bow
And a deerskin quiver
Holding expertly finished arrows
Two fungi on leather thongs Probably served medicinal purposes

Examination concludes;

Two fungi on leather thongs probably served medicinal purposes...
Probably served medicinal purposes...

Feelings as I wander through this land of distant snow
Hunger trails my spirit
As my breathing starts to slow

The other side of morning time
Should see me through this trial
Shadows dance like drunken beasts
Rage against my foe

I feel so cold, so cold and alone
Feel so cold, so cold and alone
And I'm floating on a cloud of liquid pain

Memories shiver stillness
Through my body once again
I walked this path in anger
Long before this hunt began

To little food to carry me
To little fear to run

My time of retribution
Hounds me like a a distant curse
To die outside my lover's arms
Could surely be no worse

I Feel so cold, so cold and alone
Feel so cold, so cold and alone

I Pass alone and hang beneath
This silver painted sky
Reflecting my unfinished soul

As countless years go by
Echoes of my distant life
Shiver in my eyes
Echoes of my distant life

Shiver in my eyes
Echoes of my distant life
Shiver in my eyes
Feel so cold
So Cold and Alone
Examination concludes
