lyrics

There are no longer ships to carry us
So this sea is crossed alone
No hand or voice to lead us
The only strength will be our own
To traverse the water with the wind for beauty and for fear
Through loss, lust and sin
Stake claim in the ether
Take place amongst the fog
Expand in all directions cold and form without
Smother the ocean!
Steal the tide to drown and rise
Surge and flow to crash and break as
Rigid glass in waves
Waves
Waves of grief
Waves of pain
Waves of bitterness
Waves to raze a heart
Lacerate my body
Tear away at my soul
No trace of memory left – there is no mercy in my breath
Whilst blackness swallows the shore
As it eats the sand, so my being erodes
I am steam and I am smoke
A temporal haze to dissipate with fate
Bound, made sacrifice and buried in the sky
I come to the apex ready
For a realm beyond the reach of sails
Blind in twilight ink
Where lies the night of gods
Encircled in splendor
Meaningless
Infinite
Terrible and radiant
Where existence cannot prevail
