The Sleeping Tide Lyrics

Under an ominous sky the way is lost
Roaming through this creeping wasteland
Where hope and light fade
‘To a passage shrouded by suffering

Rotting reeds that writhe in misty winds
Echo an epitaph of sorrow

Suppressed by despair we wade forth
Followed by knowing sightless eyes

Deep within the silenced fen
Their pale eyes surface from below
Like candles faded within forgotten shadows
The dead sleep beneath the tide

Entranced by the dim water before me
A reflection haunted with visions past
Faces sunken and shoulders bent
In armor that no longer shines with the sun

Swallowed by the damp mist
Bound to the pallid marsh
Drowned in eternal darkness
The dead forever stay
The dead forever remain

Break through the lifeless fog
Disillusioned by the dead
Burdened to continue on
And carry the anguish of man

Deep within the silenced fen
Their pale eyes surface from below
Like candles faded within forgotten shadows
The dead sleep beneath the tide
