The Dead of the Sea

My fearful heart, a home to many ghosts
Remembers all the battles I lost
From the fire, to the frost
The ones I've loved, are those I've hurt the most

(Requiem pro nobis)
(Miserere, Deus)
(Requiem pro nobis)
(Miserere, Deus)
(Requiem pro nobis)
(Miserere, Deus)
(Requiem pro nobis)
(Miserere, Deus)

Air is changing, the wind is rising
Heavy as a threat
Waves are circling, channels raging
I fear I can't escape
Ready for the raid that's coming
I will stand my ground
I won't be praying, nor hesitating
I fight or I will drown

My taste for blood
This evil love
Makes me load the gun
What have I done?
When fire bursts
And they fall first
I could lose my heart
In ecstasy

Far beneath the waves
I will hear their names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

Air is clearing, moon is rising
Silence comes around
My heart is rushing, I can't keep breathing
As I lay my eyes down
Floating by a cemetery
After the assault
I might be praying, or denying
That this is my own fault

The smell of blood
The crimson mud
As I drop the gun
What have I done?
A pale embrace
A haunting face
That won't leave me be
Until the end

Far beneath the waves
I will hear their names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

Hiding away
From all I can't face
Never want to ever hurt you
I'm sorry for all the wrongs I've done

My grieving heart, my lonely misery
Remembers all the battles I won
From the darkness, to the sun
Forgiving all, I'll be forgiving me

Far beneath the waves
I will hear their names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

No matter if I'm strong
I will soon belong
The dead of the sea
