lyrics

Upon the shore,
I saw you
as water between the stones

flowing outward
to the ash-dimmed sky,
the hot coals of stars

balanced, reflecting
from your movements
dance in the ebb and flow.

A steady step,
a cloven hoof,
a black cloak
flows around you.

Twisting like the undertow
clinging to a body's mass
that has lost the battle
upon the timeless stones
of the shore, tides retreat
to reveal dead remains
borne upon the freezing sand,
floating in the ocean mist.

Twisting like the undertow
upon the timeless stones

Flowing outward
to the ash-dimmed sky
balanced, reflecting
in your movements

upon the shore

a slow, wading gradient,
the rust of a blade recovered,
stepping towards a weightless state
where light itself is no-more.

Upon the shore.
