Black Water Dawn

At the gloaming shore, neither sea nor land

The heaving immeasurable darkness ahead

Moonlit the stannic waves swell up and threat

And the nightly breeze is calling my name

I gaze into the night, as if I could see

No land in sight but a voracious deep

I resign myself onto the barque

To set sail to perdition, a fate so dark

Can you feel them? Can you see them?

The green hills, the silver stream

Can you not see the newborn sky, the auburn sun?

You are so near the sun of the dawn

Across the waves of the fever sea

The lashing billows hurling curses at me

Bawling, the cormorants mouths open wide

Snatching and gnawing, bane at my side

Deathwards the ferry glides across the waters so deep

To the foul land, athwart the venomous sea

Resistance worn down and a broken will

A crippled heart, sense come to nil

Can you feel it? Can you hear it?

The oak's song, the raven's call

Can you not see the newborn sky, the auburn sun?

You are so near the sun of the dawn

Can you feel them? Can you see them?

The green hills, the silver stream

Can you not see the newborn sky, the auburn sun?

Can you not see the sun of the dawn?

You are so near tir' jovincon
