Finding Peace

The salow sweet taste of amber coal
A blood red mark upon my soul
The light chasens to eat the darkness
And I am left in a starving embrace

Do you feel the water rising
Streaming through the broken door
Silver walls, Silver walls
Reflecting the mark upon my soul

She thinks to move, she thinks to act
To hold on, to forget my past
She dosn't understand
Our love can never last

The distance covered, the past forgoten
More then ever I feel the pain
Miles between us, I feel insane

The water swallows
Her voice is muffled
No longer do I hear her words
Silver walls reveal no more
Lost in this water grave

Darkness has returned
The light shatered
The power currents, as if the llightning of a storm
Drifting through this never ending water void
Coarsing through my frail body
Cracking down my amber hart
The pain is sharp, biting hard

Breaking through the open door
I emerge, water no more
Lush green blades of plenty
On my feet, soft and serine

The star is shining, the one called sun
The earth is bright
And I am in it
The silver grave, I see no more

And so I am my own life
My own being
In the world
