Ship of nails

Here I am
Waiting to die
My blood running cold
I feel the caress
Of springs sweet breeze
Is this how it ends
Breath... Breath... Again
They won’t have my nails

I’ve suffered for glory
Suffered the pain
Now ice fills my veins
And where are the maidens
Where is my father
Is death not enough?
Stand... Rise...and take your place
Or sail with the damned

Failing that, let rain upon my skin
Deeper into the earth I sink
My strength has left, I’m fading now away
The black ship shall work its new mate
Brace the black main sail
Men’s skin and hair
The fair wind blows foul
I see no bright star

Within frozen sky
To plot my course
Sail... Latitudes... Sail
Until twilight calls
I bequeath my endings
I curse the sea
I scream at gray waves
Keep your heart faultless
And remain well kept
Death can be swift
And breath... Breath... Again
In this nightmare with me
