Like a Perpetual Funeral

I reach for my shadow in horror

Envy eats but its own cold heart

Some friends, the few I have left

Set sail out of the frame I’m in

He begins to die, That loses his desires

All are not merry that dance here lightly

Fear follows those who live by the sword and fire

My heart was my weapon, and the death of me

I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue

It’s a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair

So unto the sea my grief set sail, in disbelief

Fevers and time burn away, Nothing is allowed to stay

There is nothing new underneath the sun

The moon with its long arms, reaches into the sea

My eyes were towers high, in my heaven

And from my body drew a cold breath and final clue

The sun made clear its thoughts, It was never coming through

I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue

It’s a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair

So unto the sea my grief set sail, in disbelief

Fevers and time burn away, Nothing is allowed to stay
