The Leaden Ghost - Shallow Rivers

She’s watching the sea with steady eyes of a

Roamer

Abandoned forevermore a spirit of the shore

Enchanting restless waters, whose depths

Enshrined her life

Cold and petrified

She’s searching the truth she’ll never know,

In a cadence of forgetfulness

A damnatory weakness of her failure

Behind the veil of haze a wraith I see

Shining grey

A formless figure of endless suffering

A transparent shell of human being

Then spilled a tear

The girl cried loud

The name of the beloved one,

Who waited on the shore that day

With all hopes wrecked and swept away

And then she sighed again,

Revealed to me a secret

Of my end

You blind my eyes.

I can’t see

Your leaden light unto me

This unbearable numb pain in my ears

A haunting voice I cannot resist

It terrors my mind

I just cannot reach your words behind

Unconscious

I step into water
