"The Dead Of The Sea" lyrics

My fearful heart, a home to many ghosts
Remembers all the battles I lost
From the fire, to the frost
The ones I've loved are those I've hurt the most

Requiem pro nobis
Miserere, Deus

Air is changing, wind is rising
Heavy as a threat
Waves are circling, cannons raging
I fear I can't escape
Ready for the raid that's coming
I will stand my ground
I won't be praying nor hesitating
I fight or I will drown

My taste for blood
This evil love makes me load the gun
What have I done?
When fire bursts
And they fall first I could lose my heart
In ecstasy

Far beneath the waves
I will hear the names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

Air is clearing, moon is rising
Silence comes around
My heart is rushing, I can't keep breathing
As I lay my eyes down
Floating by a cemetery
After the assault
I might be praying or denying
That this is my own fault

The smell of blood
The crimson mud as I drop the gun
What have I done?
A pale embrace
A haunting face that won't leave me be
Until the end

Far beneath the waves
I will hear the names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

Hiding away
From all I can't face
Never want to ever hurt you
I'm sorry for
All the wrongs I've done

My grieving heart, my lonely misery
Remembers all the battles I won
From the darkness, to the sun
Forgiving all I'll be forgiving me

Far beneath the waves
I will hear the names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

No matter if I'm strong
I will soon belong
The dead of the sea
