The Shore

"Death and the stillness of death
Are the only things certain and common
To all in this future!"

How strange that this sole thing that
Is certain and common to all
Exercises almost no influence on men
And that they are the furthest from
Regarding themselves as the brotherhood of death!"

Time has come to decide
My finger holds my life
With this cold grey device
Who will hold my heart?

When demons call my name
To the long descending
Road to hell
I can hear the bells

I just want to die
Leave it all behind
Will they even cry?
When the priest recites his empty lies

I just want to start over
Ride the sky like a thunder
Always felt like a stranger
Never asked to be born to live this life

When I'm gone
Take my word
I will try to reach the shore
Forget my name
And burn my stuff
No one knows what I've done

Pain and hate
Like a river of
Magma falling

Dead by dead
Shaping great
Walls of flesh

My decay
My silence
My secret warning

Bullets are running
Like wolves
In the fog

Now I'm gone
So far away

And I can see
It all
Cause finally I understand

I was alone
Cause finally I reach the shore

The truth of all
Cause Finally I understand

Now I'm gone
So far away

And I can see
It all
Cause finally I understand

I was alone
Cause finally I reach the shore

The truth of all
Cause Finally I understand!

When I'm gone
Take my word
I will try to reach the shore

Forget my name
And burn my stuff
No one knows what I've done

Pain and hate
Like a river of
Magma falling

Dead by dead
Shaping great
Walls of flesh

My decay
My silence
My secret warning

Bullets are running
Like wolves
In the fog!

(I'm) Reaching the Shore!
