Black Waters Lyrics

Death smiles at us all,
I smile back.
Fear doth hold my heart,
Not in this life or the next.

For prepared is my soul for this life to end,
To sail black waters to the resting plane.
So bring me the death that I desire ask,
God is within not apart,
That which is found within thine heart.

This is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

Rise.
Forth.
Rise.
Within.

Sanctify this wretched life,
By fire, air, earth, and ice.

Rise.
Forth.
Rise.
Within.

For prepared is my soul for this life to end,
To sail black waters to the resting plane.
So bring me the death that I desire ask,
God is within not apart,
That which is found within thine heart.

The sun shall set upon thine eyes,
As the soil so slowly take thine breath.
Ye shall know the eternity of light,
For there after death is another life.

Strange words fill my view,
Now on the other side.
Shapes and sights unseen to me before,
Upon my spoiled mind.
Curiosity takes me to the dark house,
Where the dead become dead,
And the soul becomes foul (foul).
A realm of secrets,
Between the worlds of light.
Where they gather the ancient creatures
Of the night,
And speak of things I cannot comprehend.
Casting pearls of black into confusing holes.
(Then they look upon me with eyes I cannot fight)
(Less twisted 'round what should not be within)
They speak to me and say ye shall remain here within.
They say ye shall remain because you lived in sin.

(I love the way you move inside of me)
(Lovely stranger, let go of my chest)

Rise.
Forth.
Rise.
Within.

The sun shall set upon thine eyes,
As the soil so slowly take thine breath.
Ye shall know the eternity of light,
For there after death is another life.
