Master Storm

(album: Herald Moth - 2009)

Encapsulated on this vessel
Perished crew all strewn around me
A breaking wave slowly surrounds me
Coming to wash my sins away
We've got to ride with the wave
We've got to stand up and be brave
Or it's a water gave (for our hero)
As we ride into the storm
Our sanity will transform
As two we will be reborn

I was crucified for what I thought I believed
I was sacrificed and made to walk the plank
The rouge waves unify and focus all their power on me
Damage inflicted but freedom would be restricted

The situation is quite awful
The sharks have smelt this blood
Whilst one chews on the last morsel
I'll probably die before the great flood

We used to feel so complete
We used to dance in the street
We used to dance to the beat
And now it's all at the bottom
Of the ocean forgotten
Alike a lifeboat and transom

We'll go down when she goes down

I was crucified for what I thought I believed
I was sacrificed and made to walk the plank
The rouge waves unify and focus all their power on me
Damage inflicted but freedom would be restricted

The water is freezing the breeze is so raw
And I can not feel my pulse
And I can not see the coast (no lighthouse to see)
I wish for the morning but I wont survive the night
Her ghost is so warm and bright
But she's home at land (sing a song for me)

My darling I pray that this bottle will find you well
Its holds all the words in my heart
I curse the day that we had to part

Sipping on sea water
Hallucinations torture me (a myriad of my dreams
The horizon offers nothing
We will go down when she goes down
And she goes down
My lungs they flood
The devil takes my hand
No guiding lights just memories of home and golden sand
My dreams shatter as I head for a new land
I close my eyes and the pressure of the ocean crushes my heart

The water is freezing the breeze is so raw
And I can not feel my pulse
And I can not see the coast
The light turns to sea
I wish for the morning that I would survive the night
Her ghost is so warm and bright
But she's home on land (sing a song for me)

My darling I pray that this bottle will find you well
Its holds all the words in my heart
I curse the day that we had to part
