lyrics

Twist the knife
Crying reptile tears
Beneath revilement lies

And when you know it’s gone, you’re dry

Through hidden routes
Black ships are tossed
But your waves break down along the rocks

They say that ice pumps out your blood
Every pale charade is just a bluff

I chart the stars alone
To cross the ocean home
Slave to the current’s will
When all the winds are still

Tides crash down around your garden wall
Minor chords intone a drowning pall

Although I thirst for water, there’s none around
I hear the seraph’s choir calling me down
Calling me down
Calling me to drown

Across dark seas
Shadows are cast
From skeletal masts
Black ships of deceit

Adrift on arctic oceans
Lost on endless seas
Day brings hellish sunlight
Night brings frost disease
