World Asleep

by Coal & Crayon

1.
Here I am Pure covered in black My soul draws a crack Underneath my skin are promises Rid of payback Severed from my lawyer holes in my chest (I’ll be what I am) A Ghost in Unrest The Hours seem worthless As the river flows With the change of time Bereave my path to go The Hours seem worthless As the river flows With the change of time Bereave my path to go Here I am The Tears I have shed Beside my deathbed Journey Barriers overpower Hour with hour Force fed with serenity Eternal stand-by (I watch from afar) The nightingale fly The Hours seem worthless As the river flows When the change of time Bereave my path to go The years pass worthless the power of sound Close the door, dim the lights Into the unknown Words are stones in my mouth Playground fades from inside out Alone – All I have is dead and gone I’ll never come back home

Shipwrecked 05:46
Shipwrecked – cuts in the wood of my skin This journey begins with a wound in my fin A battle at sea, it is all against me navigation is lost, by the tragic that be Along the railing I pace with a sad view on past days equilibrium out of place There's a storm punish me all day And the sirens won't seem to move away Is there anything that's binding me No there's nothing that's holding me when it's time to disappear We left our ships to the sea Lost along the way The mast ripped to pieces by the powers that be Can't see the silver linings through my black cloud destiny Shipwreck – you taste the blood in my breath The ocean's hindsight have send me a raft Horizon seems like a regardless dream Shallow as the squall takes down to my recovery

The waves are crushing the froth beats against my head The stabbing pain in my breast reminds me that I'm not dead Rather I hoped the lord came down to take my soul away But now I'm the only one that survived this horrible day How many souls have been swallowed by the sea My old fellows they won't return to their families The storm is over smooth as a mirror treacherous sea Just some wood and broken bones bear witness to this tragedy Now I lie here now I am alone Lost so far away from home But I have no choice I just can cry Singing this elegy and say good bye

Harbour 09:21
Sailing away Not here to stay Have you ever felt dead nor alive All endeavours seem vanished with time Coming home seem the most sacred move somehow The bullet-proof is torn and shot-through Every finger is pointed at you And the moon pulls down to the undertow Time to throw the anchor Harm the waves narrow stings And fold your wings the momentum of familiar peace in this whole disarray without cease A servant to the own forgiveness A curse tattooed down on your sleeve with chagrin raped ghost feed belief And mourn to what died defenceless

Rain 05:44
A raindrop falls from the sky I feel forsaken by myself A flood of pain and desperation invades my head Too much pressure Too much suffering I fall on my knee I'm breaking down I'm disappointed that I'm so weak and helpless yet I need a slight of hope in this never ending rain A raindrop runs from my eye This heavy burden is crushing me I have not the poverty to face up to myself, to face up to the truth I can't breath I can't see I lost my way but I will stay I will fight for my live I'm still alone until I get home

8.
I've seen this world with my own eyes Grim tales I've told the stars Lone in the company of wolves underwater its dark Save me from the beast It has no arms but its haunting me Caught in maelstrom of grief Pray for the weak I'm failing I've told too many waves my plan as lazy as they hug the shore unto dead end Atlantis a breath away Look how bright it blaze with all these homeless souls here rest upon their trial I pace Severed and bound The skulls rustle when I hit the ground There's no one left for me Was it all a dream? I'm failing I've told too many waves my plan as lazy as they hug the shore unto dead end I'm shaking A toothless monster in my head Forget these countless hours the tears I've shed Charybdis A mirror up to me How lifeless Theres no hope left for me How calm this bleak puts the soul to the man Awake now Real life...here I am I'm failing I've told too many waves my plan as lazy as they hug the shore unto dead end I'm shaking A toothless monster in my head Into the brook of dreams the dead can think of another end

The Ordeal 06:26
THE ORDEAL All faith is lost The wariness is rising The mind set on soundless just pictures disguising Abyss emerged It's bolted to the system Erode our manners in fear of our wisdom Crushed by the weight of this Icon has crashed down A heavy chain you've put around me The truth is locked with tongues stitch like daggers They swallow words left unsaid and spit out all the rest We have been there before You teach us slanders A breeze still go quiet Will turn into thunder A force to our fortunes Maintain to unfold Those who meant to be brothers kill bitterly cold A horde of antennas Scan our skin Are we anemic and made of glass Is there something more than just wrath
