The waves whisper dark all around me, I can't see a thing in this fog
The whole world is shrouded, no stars I can chart for a path
This course that I've set, it'll drown me, I still feel it drawing me on
The farther I go, the less that I know where I'll land
I can taste the salt, thickening the air, waking hunger too vast for a name
Fathomless and wild, is it my compass, or am I its prey
Stay with me, memory, twine into thread
Weave with my dreams, with the grief I have bled
Oh, be my sails, catch the wind, carry me
Oh, be my sails, I'm at sea
These clouds that I'm in, they confound me, even horizons are gone
This veil that enfolds me, I can't even tell where I've passed
There's nothing in reach that'll ground me, such endless expanses I cross
How long must I journey till restlessness quiets at last
Still I taste the salt, thickening the air
Waking that hunger too vast to contain
Fathomless and wild, is it my compass, or am I its slave
Stay with me, memory, twine into thread
Weave with my dreams, with the grief I have bled
Oh, be my sails, catch the wind, carry me
Oh, be my sails, I'm at sea
Oh, be my sails, I'm at sea
The waves look endless to the small
Have we grown just enough to see, but not to help at
All of these, poisoned seas, we'll have to swim before we're through
Our lives look endless when we're small, endless when we're small
Shortsighted eyes, they leave us free to harm
All of your fine horses and all of your fine men
They can't do a thing to stop the coming of the end
