MARROWER - Darkness My Witness Lyrics

Fire
Cold rain
Our ship
Sinking

Awake in the dark and heaving to
The crashing of rocks that were breaking through
Some errant spark and the magazine blew
Our course was left to stray

Reflections of fire return from the night
As visions grow dyer consumed by the light
A chance to survive, but where are the others?
Gone from this nightmarish sight

The deck, the mains, the mast in flames
Spokes on a wheel unturned again
Alone with the sound of my coil's chains
I flew in fear of pain

Darkness
My witness
The tempest
Its coldness

This isn't here
No this isn't me
The timber is burning
The ashes fly free
This water is fire
No dichotomy
Deathless consuming
This 'I' is a we

To hold
Us near
And feel
No fear

Darkness
My witness
This tempest
Its coldness

Here I stand
As I'm blown by the wind
Born home in the wind
Alone in the wind

And here I stand
As I'm blown by the wind
Born home in the wind
Alone in the wind

Into the core
Fall out of the life consuming

Is this my reward?
Cold water and dark intombing

Fly, ever in desperate nearing
Die...

Relentless and shadowed
Beneath the skin of being
The eyes of the dark
Go vacant, one by one
My lone spark
Unkindled and unbecome

An onrush of endings is come to my sight
My drowning desire to live through the night
I climb with a power that pulls me on higher
And breath in the firestorm's light

Chaos
My witness
Our ship
Our last dance

Here I stand
As I'm blown by the wind
Born home in the wind
Alone in the wind

And here I stand
As I'm blown by the wind
Born home in the wind
Alone in the wind

Here I stand
As I'm blown by the wind
Born home in the wind
Alone in the wind

And here I stand
As I'm blown by the wind
Born home in the wind
Alone in the wind
