Oceangrave

(album: Children Of Night - 2023)

The tide is rising
There's an anchor in the deep
The ship capsizing
In the water we will sleep
I'll go down fighting
There is nowhere we can flee
Just foam and lighting
Then the bottom of the sea

In my oceangrave, my oceangrave
It wasn't for my own mistakes
I could die below the frozen waves
But I'm still reaching out for hope
For hope's embrace

The tide is turning
But I fear that it's too late
A shipwreck burning
And the water doesn't wait
I count the corpses
Of my swiftly fallen friends
I stay the course, then
Hope I don't end up like them

In my oceangrave, my oceangrave
It wasn't for my own mistakes
I could die below the frozen waves
But I'm still reaching out for hope
For hope's embrace

I feel my lungs are gasping out for air
Reaching out my hand, but no one's there
My body slowly drowned
No god can hear the sound
Of my last prayer
This isn't fair

Oceangrave, my oceangrave

In my oceangrave, my oceangrave
It wasn't for my own mistakes
I could die below the frozen waves
But I'm still reaching out for hope
For hope's embrace
For hope's embrace
