Remorser - Landscapes
Two coins for the ferryman
The night sky is ahead of me
Shallow graves by the riverbed
I'm low down from the certainty
Of what's to come
The last call to the underworld
Dragged numb from the life of me
Doors closed from the streets above
A deep breath for the tidal waves
So hold me close
Under liars and thieves drained
blood deranged amidst the cold
I'm a bastard of man pinned down
by crooks to take my soul
Immersed in the night as worms
crawl the dirt beneath my skin
Rotten in spoils withdrawn
and silent and plagued by sin
As black as disease worn down
and shadowed below my eyes
A serpent of tongues wraps around my mind
Sleep a while longer
Now don't be afraid
Of lips in lurid opal blue
Open the sky to infinite space
As oceans wave
It's time to say goodbye
