Oblivion

Oblivion


sailing
on a sunless sea
downward to
infinity
no stars above
to give me hope
or guide me to
an island shore

with every change of course I make
my destiny
remains unchanged...

No escape
from this wilderness
No running from this -
- emptiness...

...

take my hand
and come with me
far beyond
this stormy sea
rest your weary heart within
leave the world
behind my friend
you've heard me calling
for a long long time
just take my hand
and you will find...

...

so I turn my ship
into the wind
and face the truth
that I have seen
softly singing
she calls my name
with open arms
I release my pain

and as the sea
closes over me
my heart at last finds -
- serenity -

... Oblivion -
- a broken heart's best friend

take my hand
and come with me
far beyond
this stormy sea
rest your weary heart within
leave the world
behind my friend
you've heard me calling
for a long long time
just take my hand
and you will find...

... Oblivion -
- a broken heart's best friend

so I turn my ship
into the wind
embrace the heart of -
- Oblivion...

"Hello Friend"-
- she welcomes me within...

take my hand
and come with me
far beyond
this stormy sea
rest your weary heart within
leave the world
behind my friend
you've heard me calling
for a long long time
just take my hand
and you will find...

...Oblivion...

"i'll be your broken heart's -
- best friend..."
