Painful night,
Horrid morning.
Across the sea
The sun is dawning.
There's a shadow
In this heart.
It leaves you now with joy.

Gaining sight
Of the horizon
I see you there
Your life I died upon
Did I leave or did you stay,
Whatever the answer
I'm of dismay

The story of my life
Cannot be simply told
For on these white shores
My life will soon unfold

This story
My life is finally at an end
But once at end
A new beginning...
A new bare world to tend!

Why did you leave me?
Leave me sailing.
Your own paradise
My own wailing
You can hear it,
Left me swimming
In the waters of death and lore!

'Follow you to darkest end,
Follow you to light'
Sail off to the place undying
Where now my death is now implying
That I've wasted my life and death

You are there in pain
You stay there vulnerable
You think I am at ease here.
Though this pain is far greater without

My pain is one you will never know,
If ever you will find here
If ever you kept a promise by ear,
By tongue of the dirty snake you bear

'Sail, come, sail!
Or hearts will defeat you'
This mail I send to you
Is coming from the havens
Attached with melted wax
My sorrow is anger
Tears of joy linger
Of you staying there
Of leaving me here
