Solemn Retreat Lyrics

Hold me under water
or raise me aloft the sky
Whatever disrupts this peace
and dims this beguiling light
From the utmost tip of my being.
to the bedrock of my soul;
deep where a truth quivers,
I'm willing to let myself go

Crowns rustle in a choir,
describing something dear and serene
A wave's fluent fluctuation
reflects the state I'm in

My head conducts the silence so deafening
In the cradle of solitude I rest
And the voice I've failed to subdue
barely resonates in my chest

Blow me to pieces
or bestow upon me joy
Whatever changes this framework
and rejuvenates this soil
As the farthest ends of my presence
and my heart sway to and fro,
inside me a marred boy shivers
and I'm willing to let him go

Amidst a lonely night
I dare to close my eyes
A roar concealed within
echo from bark to skin
