At the Mouth of the Sounding Sea - Obscure Sphinx

Despair uplifts me like the sea

Through dark fogs in heaven infinity

I lift my wandering sail

Motionless I sit and dream

Dying I breathe a long and swooning sigh

Carrying the memory in my breast

And when the stone

Upon thy trembling breast

Crushes my will

And keeps the heart at rest

And when cold body whispers the final breath

Anathema chant will hide in it

The sounding sea will become dim

And hides me from

Sweetness of the azure sky

Motionless enfolds me

Deep in his liquid heart

All mortal hopes flown away

When sounding sea becomes

Dim

Dark shapes with gloomy eyes

Meditate over my unrested flesh

Like stranger Gods

They sit and dream

In solemn pose holding hands on my cheeks

Beneath the somber veil

Where gloomy eyes shine red

Where gloomy eyes shine red…

…the reptile hides it’s skin

The abyss of the sea will fill up my veins

The heart of sounding sea will beat for me from depths

The mouth of the sounding sea will swallow my despair
