A Tale of Salt and Light

Blessed are the ones who walk the salty desert
Blessed are the ones who conquer their fear in the ocean

Every second I battle the current
Swim against the whim of nature
Hunters of the deep circle of my path
Hopes washed away by the pull of the tide

Sentenced to drown by the will of the moon
We are the salt of the earth, scattered to the soil
Everything we touch will be withered and pale
With every step I take and every mile I swim in this ether of pain
I distance myself from this salvific oasis

Unknown realms, they shine so bright
Never seen by the mortal eyes
Deprived, the faculty of sight

My body, my ache, washed up at the cost
Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells
My corpse will lie there to be bleached in the sun

My body, my ache, washed up at the cost
Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells
Serve as memorial of salt and light

I pray every night to calm down the gods
I beg the stars to my pleas they remain deaf
Behold the clouds as they gather into a storm
Hell breaks loose as they disparage my sorrow

Dragged under the surface by the mighty grip of disbelief
Pulled down to the abyss of dissidence
The silty grounds and oceanic trenches my last resting place

Doubt crossing my
Path like a sword drawn and slicing through my chest
My lungs are filled with blood
Gaze over the surface, the ripple will be raged
The waves show no mercy
Letting myself sink and soon I will descend into defeat
I am the light of this cruel world
Doctrine, abolish thy fate
Ah-ah

Conquer thy fear
Gather your strength

Blessed are the ones who walk the salty desert
Blessed are the ones who will fight the sea

My body, my ache, washed up at the cost
Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells
My corpse will lie there to be bleached in the sun

My body, my ache, washed up at the cost
Stranded between sand, seaweed and shells
Serve as memorial of salt and light

The world is fading
I let myself go and float in the drift of time bid me to sleep
As I dive into deep
I serve as memorial of salt and light

This sunken palace will serve as a shelter for my disgrace
I'll rest below, for this sea will form a blanket for my desperation

The world is fading before my eyes
The vastness of the ocean has found a prey in me
Serve as memorial of salt and light
