Watching the Drowners

Waves come crushing
Ten feet tall and roaring
Destroyer
Oppressor
The will is ancient
Beyond knowledge and sworn to disaster
Ten feet tall and rising

No resistance left
The grip of old has come
Hereby we are the watchers
They are drowners for their faith is futile

The tide is raging
Against all of man's work
Punisher
Liberator
Being all at once
Trespassers in the sacred waters
Sickening slow death

Silver dawn upon us
Ashen sky
A drowners heart in each of our hands
