Standing still here for a moment

Breath held tightly in my body

A world that's growing darker

Not worth a longer stay



All the wisdom that I earned

Can't make a change to this state

As I lay down my spirit's arms

On my knees to seal my fate



I cast my hopes into the waters

Awaiting judgement from the sea

And someday the tide will rise

Up so high to swallow me



Collapsing pride and fading joy

Are marking my capitulation

To a world that cries in pain

And slowly dies in misery



Come the demons of my soul

To carry my sane mind away

I'm just a noble soul of honour

Who has left its way



Cast my thoughts into the water

Awaiting judgement from the sea

And someday the tide will rise

Up so high to swallow me
