The last caress of light before the dark

A shadow creeps across the land
The light begins to weaken
On this bitter earth I stand
Alone, weary and forsaken

Majestic silence of the sea
It guides me as I roam

Remorseful thoughts sweep through me
I've strayed so far from home

What curse is this that dwells in me?
That holds my heart from beating free
The stinging bite of winters call
A beauty lost once and for all

As the waters lash against my body
A siren calls from the deep
Echoes of foreboding, pierces through my soul
There is no time, no time for turning back

What has led me here, to the edge of reason
Where weakness haunts the mind and plagues the soul
I wither under tongues of fire
I never thought this day would ever come

The last caress of light before the dark

A tempest lures me into the chasm of death
Blood roars and ravens soar above me
They summon me into a realm of fear
Wretched faith clings to my shackled hope

The last caress of light before the dark

So far I've sought, so long I've fought
The land is seared with sorrows past
And if I should die upon this day
Then let the spirits guide me home

The last caress of light before the dark
