There’s no turning back
There’s no chance
So step out into the sea
Every breath may be your last
There’s no turning back
A fire, a liar
A desire to stand and fight
In the midst of this torrent
Burn, burn, burn
This fire shut up in the bones
Of the sea
Is this a welcome home
No ghost inside to roam
When the body dies
Do you find yourself alone
Sleep in the deep
Silence in the stillness of the violent sea
Come and see the violence left in me
Void of volition
It can wreak havoc untold
A lost soul
Forever lost at sea
In the wreckage of a wasted life
Or so it seems
Redeem me, Redeemer
And let the fire and sea collide in me
What is there left to give?
Time, revive me or let me drown
Set me on fire
Throw me in the sea
Death emulates the state of me
Becoming my reality
Did I sow sparingly?
So few seeds grew in the soil
Or is it riddled with thorns
A shallow reward for the toil
The fire burns me, erasing impurities
Lifelong process
Burn away everything
May everything be lost at sea
All that I don’t need
Throw me in the sea
So I can sleep in the deep
A throne awaits, one of sand that passes through the palms of my hands
This is the sea welcoming me
This is the fire refining me
Choke on the smoke and suffocate the darkest parts of me
May the fire burn for all it’s worth
A death knell from the belfry
Fire and water colliding in me
A silent melody
A severed memory
Slave to the darkest parts
Is there still hope to be free
Let it all drown
Let it all burn
Reignite the flame in me
May I sink deep to the bottom of the sea
