Hoping that a slow death will wait for those Shielding their pale eyes from injury Who would sacrifice limbs For a shallow breath Hands trembling I have seen you with confidence Lower your head with a purpose And surety But I knew you were elsewhere Pensively building a tomb for those you love Your frail heart is wavering Your exits narrowing For what are you waiting? Belief alone cannot sustain us Believe in no coming shore For we'll cross this sea and the sea then beside it Navigate leagues of clamorous waters and lightning Smoke hovering so low it becomes us; We've all been betrayed Believe in no nearing shore No vessel could weather these sprawling expanses Fire so black even the night has affirmed it We've all been betrayed We have all been Betrayed Sight it was taken Eyes they were left now to gaze; Gaze upon darkness enveloping Vaguely perceiving oblique shapes in drift And the silent conversing Of all wandering ghosts Still your hands; they are trembling Your weakening clutch is now forfeit; Forfeit to violence It seems they'll forever be cursed to remain Empty yet grasping Nothing to hold Nothing is held
