White Pearl, Black Oceans
I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proudLearned to stay away from the crowdIn my home, my lighthouse101 Steps, round and downNew years eve, one night in the townCan change one life into eternity
All I could see, her eyesWe got caught in the moment, all of the nightTaken beyond all linesIn silence leaving them all behind
She had found the sails, for the following nightThe town, for her, was getting way too smallShe promised to be mineForever, for that one night
Moments, passion, small defeatsConcealed emotions, found in me"You gave life to a brand new me"
Crossing the wintry fieldsThe first hour of morning lightWarmed by the flame insideThe lasting memory of the ending night
I never had a chance to stop what hit meWhat broke my bones and mauled meAfter hours of deep, unwilling sleep in a cold shelterFell back in the dark and the hours of the day passed
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light!There's no guide, blind ships in the nightOh, blood red moon, eat away the night
Darkness covers my lonely soulNo one to feed the dying light
Good morning, oh, dreadful dayI prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of meFor the sails of night"Please tell me everything's alright"
My voice in the room broke the silenceEverybody killed me with their eyesWhat I was to hear made the people cryImpossible for me to keep the tears inside
"All on board the white pearl have diedCoastal reef have tolled their livesAnd you are the light of the night"
One thing, I remember, before I fell on the groundAlthough I never saw the faceA name was inked in his arm
Love can be like poetry of demonsOr maybe God loves complex irony?The family name stated I had seen beforeWritten on her front door
"Silence in the courthouse!"A presence in the room, we both could feelThe father of her unborn child and me
All on board the white pearl have diedCoastal reef have tolled their livesWhile I was the guide lightBack in my tower, run, run, runLight is out, I hope to seeBlack oceans beneath rise and swallow me
One step will take me back inside, another sees my endNo one can love a man who guarded the light[Guarded the light, one faithful night]Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free
Defining innocence is hell, after all that has pastBuilding new walls inside my eternal nightAlthough they took my heart and dried me upSometimes I still bleed
Show me the way [show me the way]The light will show me a way on the grisly reefsToo many dead ends I seeNo soul can save meThe respect I lost, the measure of a man
10 000 Steps down, round and roundOne night at the town and I'm hell boundBlack oceans beneath come and swallow meAll on the board white pearl had diedCoastal reef come claim my lifeBlack oceans beneath come and swallow me
My little tower, seal my fateHelp me pay back, end their hateBlack oceans beneath come and swallow meOne direction, down, down, downPitch black night for my old townBlack oceans beneath shall now swallow me
I hereby commit the body to the deepTo be turned into corruptionLooking for the resurrection of the bodyWhen the sea shall give up her deadAnd the life of the world to come, through our lordAmen
