A shadow creeps across the land The light begins to weaken On this bitter earth I stand Alone, weary and forsaken Majestic silence of the sea It guides me as I roam Remorseful thoughts sweep through me I've strayed so far from home What curse is this that dwells in me? That holds my heart from beating free The stinging bite of winters call A beauty lost once and for all As the waters lash against my body A siren calls from the deep Echoes of foreboding, pierces through my Soul There is no time, no time for turning back What has led me here, to the edge of reason Where weakness haunts the mind and Plagues the soul I wither under tongues of fire I never thought this day would ever come The last caress of light before the dark A tempest lures me into the chasm of death Blood roars and ravens soar above me They summon me into a realm of fear Wretched faith clings to my shackled hope The last caress of light before the dark So far I've sought, so long I've fought The land is seared with sorrows past And if I should die upon this day Then let the spirits guide me home The last caress of light before the dark
