lyrics

With a gaze into the seas
Swelling with bile
Intimations unveil
Divine yet vile

A solitary lust
Spores into deterioration
And douses the candle of reconciliation

Cherish the asylum
For it will soon decay
And wither into a hell
Manifested by dismay

Into the toils of despair
We are bludgeoned by desire
Bound by truth
Within a disillusioned mire

Voices of distress
Plead for serenity
In the hour of tempest
Accursed with tyranny

Cease this agony
Black sea
Swallowing misery
Forever
Shimmer vanishes
Close my eyes

Prosperity is smeared by an insurgence of strife
Our blood flows tainted with a willowing blight
The tempest succumbs into an enigmatic slumber
As our dreams are deemed spoiled
In the absence of light
