Ego ad finem

Omnia tenuit cari

Ego in finem

Ravenous beast

Is it lonesome in your depths

Apart from humanity's stench?

Has the disease of our life reached your watery bed?

As you cleanse our poison with every watery breath

What is the point?

Where is the joy?

Suspended in dreams built on sand

Still disenchanted, but out of respect

I bow to you, king of the end

And in mortal flesh and expiring lungs

And a heart that still weeps blood

I stand upon this rotting deck

Alone, contemplating the company of your depths

Ego ad finem

Omnia tenuit cari

Ego in finem

Ravenous beast

Masterless one

Why have you surfaced again?

I'm awake in a cradle of wind and stars

Exhausted and longing to drift away with you

Freedom reeks in ivory jaws

Repair the wounds time could not mend

Passionless, burnt down to marrow and bone

And specters of love to be missed

Boundless exhaustion, ambition forgotten

One single step from the Earth to transcend

Out of this rotten cage, so the needs of my soul

Might cease to exist

Ravenous beast

Ancient guard of the northern sea

Drowner of worlds and granter of dreams

I bow before your majesty and accept my fate

For it remains as unchanging as your rule

The stars and the sea and the rain are all gone

The void reveals itself to me

Am I in the belly of the beast or is the beast in me?

The sleep I longed for takes me, and I dream

One single step from the Earth to transcend

Out of this rotten cage, so the needs of my soul

Might cease to exist
