I looked into the world
An island of cinder, uncoiled
O'er tender waters, unspoils
Below my feet, and so gray
By own hands I was its prey
Hunted by a world tired of hope
♪
And island snake gave in to despair
Waters engulf her
Mighty hands ready to take
Temple down forsaken now
I taint its shores with blood
A choir of lamentations misunderstood
I murder what is left of you
Burning bones o'er waters to renew
♪
I prevail over the serpent (I preveail over the serpent)
Black and deep
Rock shatters as I sleep (Rock shatters as I sleep)
Under the ancient current
Alone and scattered in dread (Alone and scattered in dread)
Sons and daughters of loss
Our hearts are lighthouses for the dead (Our hearts are lighthouses for the dead)
♪
Try and come across
The vile tempest that entwine
All the words we have shed
I look into the distance
♪
She swallows me
She takes me away
Into the land of ash takes me under sea
To bury and at long last
What I thought was given freely
♪
She swallows me
Dark waters engulf me
Down by the tides of gravity
To bury and at long last
What I thought was given freely
I taint its shores with blood
A choir of lamentations misunderstood
I murder what is left of you
Burning bones o'er waters to renew
♪
My temple is down
Forsaken now on an island of ghosts
These macabre and unholy hosts
Tear my tower down
As the fool wears his crown
I taint its shores with blood
A choir of lamentations misunderstood
I murder what is left of you
Burning bones o'er waters to renew
I taint its shores with blood
A choir of lamentations misunderstood
I murder what is left of you
Burning bones o'er waters to renew
