Standing still here for a moment
Breath held tightly in my body
world that's growing darker
Not worth a longer stay

All the wisdom that I earned
Can't make a change to this state
As I lay down my spirit's arms
On my knees to seal my fate

I cast my hopes into the waters
Awaiting judgement from the sea
And someday the tide will rise
Up so high to swallow me

Collapsing pride and fading joy
Are marking my capitulation
To a world that cries in pain
And slowly dies in misery
 [bad word] the demons of my soul
To carry my sane mind away
I'm just a noble soul of honour
Who has left its way

Cast my thoughts into the water
Awaiting judgement from the sea
And someday the tide will rise
Up so high to swallow me
