We Carried the Boat - Leviathan

A tattered standard whips frayed in the wind
And I wonder how something so worn can withstand such lashing
A tiredness runs fully through me
Gazing with trepidation as the sun warps the horizon
I realize it is for me as it will be for you
And the same for all those before and after
It's all slow and tiresome until it's fast and overwhelming
Love ends in the salted earth of heartbreak
But eventually something new might bloom
When all strength decays
When all stories have been told
When the sea calls your name will you rally to the coast
And fight your way through the waves
If this is it
If this is what remains
I cannot ask for more
Dead with the sea I'll stay
If this is it
If this is what remains
I cannot ask for more
Dead with the sea I'll stay
Dead with the sea I'll stay
Dead with the sea I'll stay
Dead with the sea I'll stay
But my steps may echo still
On through this deck
Back to you
Whoever you may be
Know that the struggle is the thrill
Know that your patience begets the kill
Know that your patience begets the kill
And don't think that you will leave enlightened
Don't think that there won't be things left unfinished
Beloved camaraderie
Passionate intimacy
Beautiful sadness
And the human connection
These things must end incomplete
If this is it
If this is what remains
I will not ask for more
Dead with the sea I'll stay
If there is no return
If in the void I remain
Know that you are loved
And we will not meet again
We will not meet again
We will not meet again
We will not meet again
Not in bright dreams of day that
Blossom forth from nights pale moon grey
No, not in morning's fading haze
No, we will not meet again
My eyes have faltered
My body is growing thin
Regret swells as an ocean
It's too vast to swim
All light is fleeting
All contents spread array
I am but a vessel
I am empty
I am afraid
The choices I have made
The hardships and the pain
Lifetimes spent in vain now gather in rain
That lashes my ship
A foul curse on my lips
As deaths shroud does eclipse all hope of escape
Fight, fight how we may, with the sea we must sway
As hopes wash away with the light of this day
The klaxons calling
My fate it does portend
Hold fast the rigging
Last gasp before the end
