The blue blue ocean crashes painfully
Upon a shoreline of broken shells
I’m looking for somewhere to disappear
To dissolve me from view
And all this fire that burns around me
Never cools
All the ice in hell could never cure me
Of this ill that’s poisoning my flesh
The Seasons change but these burning eyes
Follow nothing but your foolish moves
And all this fire that burns around me
Never cools
the fierce rays of the sun, infernal
Have blackened the spirit I can’t hide
The drifting sands of time prey silent witness
To the weakness that we’re all afraid to die
And all this hell that burns around me
Will never cool
The drifting sands of time prey silent witness
To the weakness that we’re all afraid to die
