Song | The Furthest Shore |
Artist | While Heaven Wept |
Album | Vast Oceans Lachrymose |
作曲 : Phillips | |
So long ago, I set out to sea, forsaken by god and man | |
Visions of passion, glory and gold beckoned from distant lands | |
I left behind all I had known, aspiring to live, love, and conquer | |
Unaware that these futile pursuits would only yield a drifting sepulchre | |
Desperate | |
I have traversed | |
The seas of | |
Sorrow | |
Aimlessly drifting for many a year, cursing this fated endeavor | |
Hopeless, I accept that the solace I've sought will elude me forever | |
Straining against the maelstrom unbound, my limbs frailed and broken | |
Splintered apart after storm upon storm, my heart and hopes have sunken | |
Desolate | |
I have succumb | |
To the seas of | |
Sorrow | |
Tortured memories of sailing and searching, finding and failing | |
Eroding the will to further resist the waves violent churning | |
Bereft of strength I've lost hold of the dream now sinking in sorrow | |
Falling helpless to the waters raging below | |
For a fleeting moment I clutched the debris of my vessel now flotsam | |
A futile attempt of an overcome man to fend off the ocean | |
I know it is hopeless when I see the approach of the conquering wave | |
That has come to carry me to my watery grave | |
Washed ashore, succumb to the sea | |
The waves force upward my lifeless eyes | |
To watch the sun set for the last time | |
Only in death, would peace be mine |
