Eldritch

At The Restless Sea

Eldritch


Here comes the rain 
On fenced courtyards 
Here comes the shade 
On dead-end ways 
Here comes the grey 
To dim the colors 
Here comes the cold 
To wake the pain 

It's hard to live in silent corners 
Weary leaves 
And crooked stalks 
Flowers bow 
Towards the light 
So I do 
Out of shape, out of sight 

Calm! It's alright they say 
Calm! you're straight on your way out 
Calm's the last things I fel 
'cause what is too calm seems to be unreal 

Yet down inside 
Seas are raging 
One tear and hell shall burst 
Cold tearing and grey as lead 
I push it back as I bend my head 
And keep on standing 
If I'm here tomorrow, God, don't let it be raining 

An abandoned bone 
Lone, dead, shabby 
One doomed man 
Who can't give up 
One croked flower 
That still wants to live 
I clutch at my last hour 
At the restless sea 

Calm! It's alright they say 
Calm! you're straight on your way out 
Calm's the last things I feel 
'cause what is too calm seems to be unreal 

Yet down inside 
Seas are raging 
One tear and hell shall burst 

Cold tearing and grey as lead 
I push it back as I bend my head 
And keep on standing 
If I'm here tomorrow, God, don't let it be raining 

Calm! It's alright they say 
Calm! you're straight on your way out 
Calm's the last things I feel 
'cause what is too calm seems to be unreal 

Yet down inside 
Seas are raging 
One tear and hell shall burst 
Cold tearing and grey as lead 
I push it back as I bend my head 
And keep on standing 
Though I know well there's no way back in 
And the world out here keeps on turning 
Am I too far behind 
I raise my hand but can't say farewell 
Just as long as tides keep on turning 
Until tomorrow if there's tomorrow for me... to live
