Sea Of Stone

(albüm: Ashes Lie Still - 2022)

When the day fades, we all die alone
Soulless and rotting, in a sea of stone
When the day fades, we all die alone
Soulless and rotting, in a sea of stone

You've had five seconds in the sun
I watch you wilt away your lies are finally done
Just when you conjure up the will to go on
The axe is falling and you realise your pulse is gone

No more, the pain has to stop
Pick up the pieces, when the penny drops
One call, was all it took
Ignore your past, now you've closed the book

Resist an urge, convulsing surge
A feeling that you must purge
A man or monster, first a friend
Through all the shit that we've scourged
Thrown away, shed aside, in a blanket you hide
You smother fast, it wouldn't last, you won't survive the bomb blast

With just one ember, this fire spreads eternal
Without end, with no reversal
The coals are burning
First steps are unknown
We're always learning
We'll walk beyond our throne
We'll walk beyond our throne

No more, the pain has to stop
Pick up the pieces, when the penny drops
One call, was all it took
Ignore your past, now you've closed the book

Eternal sleep, cast down into darkness
6 foot deep, will you ever find the answers?
Leave this world with the guilt of the souls you have scorned
When tables turn are they there when it's you that we mourn?

Feels like, I'm dredging up old graves
Keep them faceless, so you don't remember their names
Feels like, I'm dredging up old graves
I'm hearing voices, it seems you point who to blame

Resist an urge, convulsing surge
A feeling that you must purge
A man or monster, first a friend
Through all the shit that we've scourged
Thrown away, shed aside, in a blanket you hide
You smother fast, it wouldn't last, you won't survive the bomb blast

With just one ember, this fire spreads eternal
Without end, with no reversal
The coals are burning
First steps are unknown
We're always learning
We'll walk beyond our throne
We'll walk beyond our throne

When the day fades, we all die alone
Soulless and rotting, in a sea of stone
When the day fades, we all die alone
Soulless and rotting, in a sea of stone

You've had five seconds in the sun
I watch you wilt away your lies are finally done
Just when you conjure up the will to go on
The axe is falling and you realise your pulse is gone

Like roots in the soil
An endless choice which path do you take?
Whose crown did you spoil?
An endless choice which path do you take?

Eternal sleep, cast down into darkness
Six foot deep, will you ever find the answers?
