Alone -

Shifting light outlines my battered form

Stranger to the world

Alone in my abandonment

A gaining army of white horses

Stark warning race before the icy front

The deceiving calm betrays all signs

Of impending change

Evening tide, what do you hide?

Damnation or salvation?

As my skin breaks the blackened surface

The cold is rising, yet all embracing

Darkness, erase this lonesome place

From my every existence

An angry sky bares the signs

A distant violence yet to break

The ocean’s travelers cry forth across the waves

Lightning cracks across a vast horizon

Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore

No light to guide

No ties, no ties to bind

Evening tide, what do you hide?

What do you hide?

To the years spent waiting on the winds of change

(This is penance paid

This is my penance paid)

To the morning sun whose warmth never found

This young man’s face

Shifting light outlines my battered form

Stranger to the world

Alone!

Evening tide, what do you hide?

What do you hide?

Lightning cracks across a vast horizon

Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore

With a final effort

I strike out across the swells

Seeking only the answers

Maybe horizons hold

With a final effort

I strike out across the swells

Seeking only the answers

Maybe horizons hold
