The Weight of Oceans

New moon awakening. Casting light upon a dream And it starts haunting, the storm building up The spirits are awakening, losing hours to the ghost And then the rain, it came crushing down. Falling rocks leave the wounded ground, in the doorway they stood. The ghosts are whispering their name, no sleep, colossus is calling. Destined to swallow the shore, the depths splits the surface Raised it's cold hands to the sky to become controller of earth and wood. A constellation of stars embodied, descent to walk among the pale. Colossus colliding, the coral giant strides along the shore

The screaming winds are begging, no choice, no options left But to seek aid from the ancient ones, deserters of the coral legion Memories from a golden age, unveiling knowledge to navigate by the stars A haunted heart to leave it's home and ride the waves Stars align to give guidance Sail away under the darkening sky, as red turns to black The night illuminates the path Sail away, mind made up to make a vow to conquer the ocean The day the sun forgot to shine, the stars carved something out of the sky A wooden gift to a haunted heart, for a distorted mind the tide will turn From a windswept shore, left it's home. Years and years entangled in affliction Stared into the eye of the giant, and time stuck it's head in the sand

A deafening sound echoed through the mist A warm breeze gave the choice of silence to the wind But the wind grabbed the water to summon the black clouds of the sky And to open up the eyes of the grieving heaven Leaving the depths to quench the thirst with rain A drink from the hands that created the past Rain upsets the cold surface, wakes what sleeps beneath the ocean floor Tantrum rises from it's tidal sleep to crack the surface of this very earth Water, the bringer of strength to release the wave Storm bursts out from the giant's mouth When salt danced with the flames, the ocean and the sky spoke with fire No sign of light at the horizon, Orion has faded, torn from above Fell down from the heavens to be lost in the storm Descended are the sons of the sky, to repel the assailing wave The power of two wills divided by hate In the last minutes of the tide, the hands of the foe held the saviors throat A gathering to summon the dark hunter Bursting into flames, cutting their strings from the heavens to fall Into a towering battle between the stars and the sea Face to face, the hunter stared into the storm

So swift, embraced by you, you're silent, I travel alone I breathe in memories, through barricades of stone Who are you, I once met light from another angle, in another time In your eyes, a solitaire, a vast dream far behind If you were blind, if we were blind, could we then have been much closer Fallen inside you, a celestial tear If the waves could drown our emotions, would it be my fault I cry for you a celestial tear If we were only memories from other times Who are you, I once met light from other angles, and other crimes I breathe in memories through barricades of stone If you were close, if we were close, would we then have been much blinder

Bleak, the sky is pale or is it the water Vapor conceals the ends and the beginnings Adrift between awake and asleep, the stillness entwines a wavering mind Awake, the trail forms through transparent walls To make way for stars to walk the surface The silence enshrouded in a halo of light, to wake the sleeper Wake up son, the storm is over Don't let yourself slumber in the arms of the frail It's time to remember why you are here With fire to open the eyes of the hunter The flow of time will not stay and wait for you Rise before you crumble under the weight of oceans A convergence of the lost light To spark the flame that drowned in the storm Who are you to abandon faith, you made the promise to conquer the ocean A fall into oblivion, leaving the reborn to the black sea Light climbing down, embodying the hunter With fire to open up the eyes of the weary He came with the call of the lost legion With voices of the ancient ones, asking for remembrance

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Haggard body, frail existence Breaking through the waves, grasping for a cold surface Swimming in uncertainty towards undefined nothing When a dream is dying, the water is an endless foe Agony ridden desolate struggle Underneath the dark lies an unending depth One foot hit the bottom, a cold touch of the ocean floor A brief glimpse of hope, a sight of a coming relief Loosing contact, slipping away from the newfound reverie Slither ashore on newfound soil Salt meets sand, cleansing the hands of the wounded Illusionary shelter Stranded on illusive ground, an island in a dream of solace Trembling ascends from inside of the island Given new life, the land awoke from it's ancient rest Arms shot like towers through the foam and the waves Surrounding and closing in, pulled under and torn deep down A stream of emptiness from underneath sweeps it all away Rising in the distance, apparition An island lures a dreamer on the verge between life and ocean Sinking away, with a final breath of water

The air from a starlit sky opens the eyes in another moon awakening Stranded again without memories, not knowing where or how, not knowing why An ocean haunted mind on the shore of a new beginning Tired eyes gaze to abandoning skies, one last time reaching for guidance A faded star appears, hanging by the silent horizon And the sun fell from the sky, no hands could reach that very far Drifting apart, so out of remedy And the sun left like it knew, never spoke of what to come Left faith flickering in a nebulous end A drowning sun at the end of the day, star guider leading to nowhere Questioning the coming end, is this what is meant to be the closing chronicle A lonesome voyager at the end of the road Star guider left an omega in spirit, in mind A lost vow of an ocean that could not be conquered Hope died the day the sun fell down

Misguided unredeemer, mortal seeker of truth Cold and endless ocean, undefeated is this giant Star guider, a pathfinder cast into oblivion
