Lyrics

I've given enough time to lethargy Twenty years ago I set sail to the sea Looking forabeast to makea plea— That unholy master of thanatology Inthe wake of forgetfulness I search for the fallen one But in truth I tell you I forgot what to pursue The world became askew All the same in mist and dew My restless soul still looks out Under the blackened sky Fighting apathy, desolation, and doubt I was looking for a friend Who met an untimely end "It's my mission," I thought, "to descend Into the waters and the monster apprehend." In the wake of forgetfulness I want to bring back the fallen one Stories told that a sea beast Took the dead as a feast; And they wandered there for eternity Inside its belly, in captivity Sometimes I thought I'd lose my mind; Some days ravenous, hopeless, and blind Trapped in the swirl of finding my friend To find him before year's end All the anger of not knowing why A thunderous storm in a silent shout For not saying a final goodbye 'till the day came when I saw it And my heart sank into a bottomless pit Souls of the dead were its bones, eerily lit And before the beast, I lost my valour and wit
