Shadow north
Mark a path for me to steer clear of
If peril had a shape, it would be yours
Shaped only spite and strain
So stake your claim
You’ve forged confusion
You’ve fed me well
Unnerving to leave port
Venture out in gale force winds
I look to stern and waver
Yet set final sail for the clouds
That shake the old horizon
Shadow north
Chart a course for me, straight and narrow
For searing tempests charge and lash out at my sight
And howling currents tear at the marrow
You’ve forged a broken blade
You’ve fed me well
Unnerving to leave port
Venture out in gale force winds
I look to stern and waver
Yet set final sail for the clouds
That shake the old horizon
Spoils of lawless lands lie squandered, given to the sea
Wasted enmity
Given up the ghost that rendered me spineless, wilfully
Wasted enmity
Fury upon me, frozen to the sea
Woe is me
Unnerving to leave port
Venture out in gale force winds
I look to stern and waver
Yet set final sail for the clouds
That shake the old horizon
Unyielding, unwavering
Headstrong in gale force winds
I look to stern no more
And find my white whale shaped in the clouds
Of my new horizon
