Iceman (Otzi Mix) ft. Otzi 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
