Out of the Swamp (I'll Rise) Lyrics

Album: Zessa

Calmly I await this ending

while dying seasons seam my feet

wounded at the end of a long journey

through wistful oceans seventeen miles deep

My limbs are aching from clinging on

both that was long dead and tried to breathe

My mouth dumb from devouring rotten apples

beside seventeen corpses I found sleep

Within this blackness I see

While suffocation I breathe

Towards the light I fall

and endless beauty I see.

All my clothes are shredded by the storm

And all my books are mangled by the wind

My feet are buried firmly under the linden tree

And nothing but the trunk I see
