Becoming Death.

lyrics

HG Verse:
We Embarked On What Would Be Our LAST VOYAGE/ From The Start We Ignored The Warnings The DRAFT WARDED/ Reality DISTORTED/ The Waters LITTERED// With Wood SPLINTERS// And Whatever The CRAFT BOARDED/ I Tried To LAST Till MORNING/ But The Stars Were TOO SLOW/ The Seas RAGED// ENCAGED// And Formed Our TOMBSTONE/ My Face Only Seen Under The MOON'S GLOW/ Seeing Things That Only The DOOMED KNOW/ DreadKnaut POLTERGEIST/ Stimulate Volcanoes And Erupt MOLTEN ICE/ Any Door Forcibly OPENED TWICE/ Is A MISTAKE// ROLL The DICE/ And Face The Glare From A SNAKE// The Past Is Where I LEAVE GUILT/ Passing Time As The LEAVES WILT/ Was It All Meant To Be Or Does The Pattern WEAVE AS IT WILLS/ Time HOLDING STILL/ The Pillaging Providing GOLDEN FILLS/ From All The STOLEN GIL/ RAVAGE Your Village And Burn Down EVERY HOME/ SAVAGES Paying An Eternal Debt To DAVY JONES/
SG Verse:
They Put Me On This Ship, But I Was NEVER Their SLAVE/ We Sailed By With Speed, Always AHEAD Of The WAVES/ Until Half Of The Crew Ended Up DEAD In A DAY/ I CRIED// And Looked To The SKIES// With My EYES// Set HEAVEN ABLAZE/ We Anchored At An ISLAND Housing A Makeshift CEMETERY// Trying To Read What Was SAID On Their GRAVES/ The Captain WILDING When A SNAKE BIT His HEAD SQUARELY// I REMEMBER His FACE/ Because He Died Instantly Bearing A MENACING GAZE/ I Was So SCARED Of This PLACE/ The Quartermaster Lost It, All He Could Do Is STARE Into SPACE/ I Couldn't JAR HIS/ EYES// I Held Him As He DIED// In My ARMS QUICK/ I Saw Beings That RESIDE In The DARKNESS/ Come To The Light, One Would SLIDE Off The HARNESS/ Of An Apocalyptic Horse With Its EYES Full Of CARNAGE/ It Was The NIGHT// That My SIGHT// Had Been TARNISHED/ From The Scenes I Had Seen, But The Images Are Still In My MIND And Have HARDENED/ Like The LIES And The GARBAGE/ Disregarded By The WISE And The HEARTLESS/ Truth Be Told, We Felt Like FLIES To A CARCASS/ Shocked Numb From The Constant Psychological BOMBARDMENTS/ In An INTIMATE// STATE Of SHOCK/ I Saw Time, The INFINITE// CHASED By CLOCKS/ I Saw Giant Planets From SPACE JUST DROP/ I Thought I Even Saw The FACE Of GOD/ From Above I Was Watching Our Bodies Just WASTE And ROT/ As We Illuminated The Night, Our Souls DRAPED In CLOTH/ I Don't Think It Was An Option Whether We Would ESCAPE Or NOT/ And My Physical Will Never Get That Bitter TASTE To STOP/ Like The CELL MATES// Behind HELL'S GATES// Being RAPED By WROTH// Demons In The SHAPE Of COPS/ Instead I Found Myself CAPED In MOTH/ WINGS// Welcoming The SPRING// As We Haunt SAILORS ACROSS/ The Ocean Into The Night, SAIL Off In SWATHS/ Then Vanish Into The Sunrise Like The FRAILEST Of FROST/ Holding Onto Our Own Sorrowful TALES Of LOSS/
