Black Waters - Ablaze My Sorrow

Black waters

Come closer

Envelop me

Pull me under

At striking distance

Filling the horizon

The barrel of a gun

An opening towards the sea

Always in my field of vision

Silently lurking in my peripherals

A promise of relief

A symbol of impending doom

My will, will never fail me

My will is as strong as always

My fear is ever present

Yet it exercises no control

Go now!

Let go!

One last look at the Fata Morgana

And then turn my eyes towards the surface

Disintegrated by the impact

Clutched in your cold dark arms

Crushed under your immense pressure

To rest peacefully in dreamless sleep

My heart will never fail me

My heart is as strong as always

My hand it wants to tremble

Yet it’s always steady as a rock

My life will never fail me

My will to live is still strong

My choices are clad in iron

And I will exercise my right to choose
