Strength

In the comfort of the water's cold embrace Gripped tight by the undertow I let the water carry me away Drifting far from the sight of land A strange calm and an inner peace The monumental choice but a distant feeling Feel the terror taking hold Grip and break your bones It will drag you down Push the feeling deep inside Reach and calm your mind Light will dim, and hope recedes You can hang yourself from the gallows tree But in time even the mightiest oaks will fall Will you still be there at the end of it all? Ash to ash and dust to dust Swords grow dull and iron rusts I feel the weight of the water bearing down on me But I got two good hands and I know my strength The calm pierced by a realization I have to swim for shore This is not the way I'm meant to go There's a peculiar beauty Revealed when your flame burns low That blurs the lines between the light and darkness Feel the horror sinking in Rip and tear your skin It will drag you down Push the feeling deep inside Reach and calm your mind Light will dim, and hope recedes You can hang yourself from the gallows tree But in time even the mightiest oaks will fall Will you still be there at the end of it all? Ash to ash and dust to dust Swords grow dull and iron rusts I feel the weight of the water bearing down on me But I got two good hands and I know my strength Aho Skies cloaked in darkness The fire starts to fade Shivering, friendless And I'm afraid I've lost my way What if I never had the power What if I never had the will Then all remaining is the journey It had to mean something
