The Dead of the Sea Lyrics


My fearful heart, a home to many ghosts

Remembers all the battles I lost

From the fire, to the frost

The ones I've loved are those I've hurt the most

Requiem pro nobis

Miserere, Deus

Air is changing, wind is rising

Heavy as a threat

Waves are circling, cannons raging

I fear I can't escape

Ready for the raid that's coming

I will stand my ground

I won't be praying nor hesitating

I fight or I will drown

My taste for blood

This evil love makes me load the gun

What have I done?

When fire bursts

And they fall first I could lose my heart

In ecstasy

Far beneath the waves

I will hear the names

The dead of the sea

A swan without a song

I do not belong

The dead of the sea

Air is clearing, moon is rising

Silence comes around

My heart is rushing, I can't keep breathing

As I lay my eyes down

Floating by a cemetery

After the assault

I might be praying or denying

That this is my own fault

The smell of blood

The crimson mud as I drop the gun

What have I done?

A pale embrace

A haunting face that won't leave me be

Until the end

Far beneath the waves

I will hear the names

The dead of the sea

A swan without a song

I do not belong

The dead of the sea

Hiding away

From all I can't face

Never want to ever hurt you

I'm sorry for

All the wrongs I've done

My grieving heart, my lonely misery

Remembers all the battles I won

From the darkness, to the sun

Forgiving all I'll be forgiving me

Far beneath the waves

I will hear the names

The dead of the sea

A swan without a song

I do not belong

The dead of the sea

No matter if I'm strong

I will soon belong

The dead of the sea
