Landscapes - Remorser

Two coins for the ferryman
The night sky is ahead of me
Shallow graves by the riverbed
I'm low down from the certainty
Of whats to come

The last call to the underworld
Dragged numb from the life of me
Doors closed from the streets above
A deep breath for the tidal waves
So hold me close

Under liars and thieves, drained blood deranged amidst the cold
I’m a bastard of man, pinned down by crooks to take my soul
Immersed in the night, as worms crawl the dirt beneath my skin
Rotten in spoils, withdrawn and silent, and plagued by sin

As black as disease, worn down and shadowed below my eyes
A serpent of tongues, wraps around my mind

Sleep a while longer
Now, don’t be afraid
Of lips in lurid opal blue

Open the sky, to infinite space
As oceans wave
It’s time to say goodbye
