Alone

Shifting light outlines my battered form
Stranger to the world
Alone in my abandonment.

A gaining army of white horses
Stark warning race before the icy front
The deceiving calm betrays all signs of impending change.

Evening tide, what do you hide?
Damnation or salvation?

As my skin breaks the blackened surface
The cold is rising, yet all embracing
Darkness, erase this lonesome place
From my every existence.

An angry sky bares the signs
A distant violence yet to break
The ocean's travelers cry forth across the waves.

Lightning cracks across a vast horizon
Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore.

No light to guide
No ties, no ties to bind
Evening tide, what do you hide?
What do you hide?

To the years spent waiting on the winds of change
This is penance paid
This is my penance paid
To the morning Sun
Whose warmth never found this young man's face.

Shifting light outlines my battered form
Stranger to the world
Alone!

Evening tide, what do you hide?
What do you hide?

Lightning cracks across a vast horizon
Reaching out its hands towards an unsuspecting shore.

With a final effort, I strike out across the swells
Seeking only the answers maybe horizons hold.

With a final effort, I strike out across the swells
Seeking only the answers maybe horizons hold.
