October Tide

Heart of the Dead

October Tide


I have waited with patience for this moment to come 
A promise, I expected not to be alone 
When the wind of the dark comes enclosing us in 
The whisper gets closer and I fake this grin 
A stranger in town with a bloodshot eye 
Sucked out my disease when I was said to die 
I won't spend t he rest of my death underground 
He laughed as I died, I am no longer bound 

My heart is not red 
This sea I've bled 
I have sold my fucking soul to the dead 
Their hunger is fed 
The beast in my head 
Heart of the dead 
Heart of the dead 

I left in the darkest hour 
I'm tired of breathing rain 
Still the night devours 
Each and every inch of pain 

No longer dressed in soil 
A guardian of the black and the cold 
Spirits of liars leading my way 
No longer inferno 
On earth I will stay
