A dead ocean A lifeless hand The stillness broken Witness this serenity A boat disturbs the water Within lay a body a man torn His empty eyes mirroring the stars The horizon opaque The sun shines cold behind these silent veils Heaven and sea the same shade of bleeding The Dead Ocean The Peaceful Sleep A Dream In This Eternal Dawn Where Life Rest Where Time Fade Where The Sun Shines Cold He barely moves Hidden from us all His skin course Marked by the rust of nails And tar of the boards He barely breathes Forgotten by this world Dreaming of the final rest Vast shapes beneath the surface The shadows silently ascend Dare not reach out Dare not awaken their peaceful slumber No wind can cleanse his fate The sun cannot break this haze The clouds caress this still mirror An empty vessel drift into the nothing Witness this serenity The Dead Ocean...

When the last word's been written When the last note's been sung When my body is emptied When the echoes have gone Set my ashes to the wind When the screams have faded When silence prevails I'll welcome every fate The tranquility I've craved Set my ashes to the wind I'll walk this valley to rest my weary soul Toasting those before me and everything I lost Smile at the warmth on my face and in my throat Settled beneath the hide In the last light of the midnight sun No rest beneath the roses No peace beneath the stone No sad grave Bury me in flames Where the valleys become one Where the river green flow There I'll rest in silence A seed for those who'll come This is where I'll sleep When slaughter wanes When faith fades When our greed corrode When peace prevails This is when I'll dream I'll drift into the valley with the ghosts by my side Revel in the the northern winds bite Knowing every burden gone Settled beneath the hide Resting in the snow Fading in the first rays of the winter sun

Dark clouds gathering A storm approaching Tethered up high Screaming into the wind Mania boiling Eyes ignite Dark clouds gathering Lightning divides the sky Cowards cower Hiding below The hull falters Desperation grows Immutable they stand strong Through the raging waves they ride the bow The storm calls us all Into the dark into the deep Dark waves whispers The cold embrace of the sea The allure of defiance We spit at the sun The sky opens upon the drowning crowd To ride the storm Into the tempest The deafening roar Eyes aflamed Tearing through the cold waves No harbour is safe None see the light at the horizon Only the end in this manic destruction To ride the storm Scream against the tempest The deafening roar And bliss of ignorance Defiant eyes aflame Tearing through cold waves Sinking The Storm calls... The allure of defiance...

A drink with Death A story none would tell A fateful night A small calm stream Where we lost ourselves In this mourning mist We would never leave There must be more If I could only see the stars I don't want to see the world through my eyes anymore Cannot take the pain, cannot bare the screams Was put here to cleanse the rot, to bring balance to this world Searching for the rebirth of light, I found only hurt I am Death and Death walks alone There we were By this beautiful stream The sun set low on a life eternal And there he came wading Almost walking on the water His dark coat rippling slowly As if in a dream We raised his bottle And we drank his liquor A toast for past battles We joined his fervour The bottle never ran dry And our spirits flew wild Yet the earth were oh so still We knew we would never leave Silent forms of trees by this beautiful stream The stars are shaded to my eyes I am shackled to this earth I don't want to see the world... I am Death and Death walks alone If I could only see the stars But they are shaded I am shackled to this earth And I walk alone
