Ocean of Water - East Of The Wall

This horizon ties your hands

Pray for mercy as you sink below

Through the thunder, until the rain falls, we’re alone

Look at the way she stares

You want to make her suffer

Bury your face in sand

Keep it smothered

Hurry, avert your eyes and hold them still

Dig deep your lines

Stop your breathing

No words, only sound

Slow steps

Heed no one

No heat, only shrouds

The elders sway

The cowards fall

They couldn’t find a way

No hope or fear of floating

No one for you to know

They couldn’t find a way

Through the thunder, until the rain falls, we’re alone

Through the sandstorm, until the soil floods we’re as bone

I’m an island

I built my wall’s stone too tall

Wait upon your shore

Maybe there sails an escape for you

So you race to the end, and then you hurtle towards another one

So you pray for the wind

Then you race to the end

I’m through counting
