Drowner of Worlds

Ego ad finem Omnia tenuit cari Ego in finem Ravenous beast Is it lonesome in your depths Apart from humanity's stench? Has the disease of our life reached your watery bed? As you cleanse our poison with every watery breath What is the point? Where is the joy? Suspended in dreams built on sand Still disenchanted, but out of respect I bow to you, king of the end And in mortal flesh and expiring lungs And a heart that still weeps blood I stand upon this rotting deck Alone, contemplating the company of your depths Ego ad finem Omnia tenuit cari Ego in finem Ravenous beast Masterless one Why have you surfaced again? I'm awake in a cradle of wind and stars Exhausted and longing to drift away with you Freedom reeks in ivory jaws Repair the wounds time could not mend Passionless, burnt down to marrow and bone And specters of love to be missed Boundless exhaustion, ambition forgotten One single step from the Earth to transcend Out of this rotten cage, so the needs of my soul Might cease to exist Ravenous beast Ancient guard of the northern sea Drowner of worlds and granter of dreams I bow before your majesty and accept my fate For it remains as unchanging as your rule The stars and the sea and the rain are all gone The void reveals itself to me Am I in the belly of the beast or is the beast in me? The sleep I longed for takes me, and I dream One single step from the Earth to transcend Out of this rotten cage, so the needs of my soul Might cease to exist
