Alone

Shifting light outlines my battered form
Stranger to the world, alone in my abandonment
A gaining army of white horses
Stark warning race before the icy front
The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impending change
Evening tide, what do you hide?
Damnation or salvation?
As my skin breaks the blackened surface
The cold is rising, yet all embracing
Darkness, erase this lonesome place
From my every existence
An angry sky bares the signs
A distant violence yet to break
The ocean's travellers cry forth across the waves
Lightning cracks across a vast horizon
Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore
No light to guide
No ties, no ties to bind
Evening tide, what do you hide?
What do you hide?
To the years spent waiting on the winds of change
(This is penance paid, this is my penance paid)
To the morning sun
Whose warmth never found this young man's face
Shifting light outlines my battered form
Stranger to the world
Alone
Evening tide, what do you hide?
What do you hide?

Lightning cracks across a vast horizon
Reaching out its hand towards an unsuspecting shore
With a final effort
I strike out across the swells
Seeking only the answers
Maybe horizons hold
With a final effort
I strike out across the swells
Seeking only the answers
Maybe horizons hold
