|
I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,
|
Learned to stay away from the crowd
|
In my home, my lighthouse
|
1000 steps down round and round
|
New Years Eve, one night in the town
|
Can change one life into eternity...
|
|
All I could see, her eyes
|
We got caught in the moment, all of the night
|
Taken beyond all lines
|
In silence leaving 'em all behind
|
|
She had found the sails, for the following night
|
The town, for her, was getting way too small
|
She promised to be mine
|
Forever ...for that one night...
|
|
Moments, passion, small defeats
|
Concealed emotions, found in me
|
"You gave life to a brand new me"
|
|
Crossing the wintery fields
|
The first hour of morning's light
|
Warmed by the flame inside
|
The lasting memory of the ending night
|
|
I never had a chance to stop what hit me...
|
What broke my bones and mauled me
|
After hours of deep, unwilled sleep... in a cold shelter
|
fell back in the dark... and the hours of the day passed...
|
|
A Nightmare awakes me, blinking light!
|
There's no guide, blind ships in the night
|
Oh, blood red moon, eat the night!
|
|
Darkness covers my lonely soul
|
No one to feed the dying light
|
|
Good morn, oh dreadful day!
|
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...
|
For the sails of night...
|
"Please tell me everything is alright..."
|
|
My voice in the room broke the silence
|
Everybody killed me with her eyes...
|
what i was to hear made the people cry
|
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside
|
|
"All on the board White Pearl have died
|
Costal reef have tolled their lives
|
and you are the light of the night... "
|
|
One thing I remember, before I fell on the ground...
|
Although I never saw the face
|
a name inked in his arm...
|
|
Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe
|
God loves complex irony?
|
The family names stated I had seen before
|
Written on her front door
|
|
"Silence in the courthouse"
|
A presence in the room we both could feel,
|
The Father of her unborn child and me
|
|
All on the board White Pearl have died
|
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
|
While I was the guide light...
|
Back in my tower, run, run, run
|
Light is out, I hope to see
|
black oceans beneath me and swallow me
|
|
One step will take me back inside, and her sees my end
|
No one can love a man who guarded the light
|
that died one fateful night
|
Flaming eyes I must confront before I'm stated free
|
|
Defining innocence is Hell after all that has past...
|
Building new walls inside my eternal night...
|
Although they took my heart and dried me up
|
Sometimes I still bleed...
|
|
Show me the way
|
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
|
Too many dead as I see
|
No soul can save me
|
The respect I lost, the measure of a man....
|
|
Ten thousand steps down, round and round
|
One night on the town and I'm hell bound
|
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
|
"All on the board White Pearl have died
|
Coastal reef come toll my life
|
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
|
|
My little tower, seal my fate
|
Help me pay back, end their hate
|
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
|
One direction, down, down, down
|
Pitch black night for my old town
|
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
|
|
"I hereby commit my life to the deep,
|
to eternity to the ocean
|
looking for the resurrection of the body,
|
when the sea shall give up her dead
|
in the life of the world to come
|
through Our Lord, amen."
