Waking up under the ground
Silver asleep on my tongue
I sweep the soil from my eyes
And watch the water dance over the stones

Presaging river, vanishing dawn
Floating away here, in Acheron

I wade my way into the river
Pulling away from the shore
Lingering flashes of memories behind me
Echoing out through the fog

Presaging river, vanishing dawn
Wasting away here, in Acheron
Into the river into the beyond

As you cast off from the shore
Hoping for a gentle breeze to push you on
You sever from everything you left behind
Do you feel alive? Did you think that you would ever get this far?

The tide begins to billow up from below
Spurs you farther from the bosom of the shore
The clouds begin darkening up above
You feel a tempest start to grow

The wind begins to howl, the thunder starts lumbering in
The rain come crashing down, you’re never gonna go back home

As the tempest presses on, eating up the sky above
You eagerly try to break out of the storm
Shadows burgeon overhead, forging lightning bold and red
Leaves you clamoring for the refuge of the shore

The waves keep crashing down, the water starts to swallow you in
You remember what you left behind, you pray the wind will carry you home

This ship is falling apart
My hands are ragged and weathered
This ship is falling apart
I think I’m falling apart

I feel my way through the dark
I try to sift through the shadows
Like pulling blood from a stone
Like pulling blood from a stone

I’ve been adrift for so long now
My bones are littered with rust
There’s no horizon to sail to
The river’s turning to dust

I’ve been here before
At the end of the world
In the quivering mist
‘Neath a towering wall

Three sets of eyes, staring back through the fog

My feet hit the shore
The bones shifting below
This odious door
Bars my only way home

Three sets of eyes, staring back through the fog
Guarding the gates, at the foot of the wall

Out of the dark a cacophonous sound
A foul cry as the beast rises up
I wrap my hands around the hilt of the blade
As I leap out into the ashes and dust
