Cessation Lake

lyrics

From what I know they told me
From all that I have heard
I was born a beautiful beast
Babbling brilliant words
Even I myself can't understand
And with all I have at hand
I cannot penetrate the surface of sheer turmoil
My solemn nights as black as oil
Everything I know is freely floating through my fingers
And my mind won't be at ease
Until it ceases

Guilt looms in the darkness
The horror in the wake
And where we ache that's where we'll break
Cessation Lake
Cessation Lake



O Cessation Lake
Everything is at stake
Your every wave after wave
All the blackness you gave
The vanishing line
Where you marry the night
The wet salty breath
The dead-bearing death
The sand of all urns
That the wind turns and turns
All you've taken to drown
The gold on your ground
The bones beneath your mounds
The absence of sound
The sleep kills the wake
O Cessation Lake

O beautiful fear
It's a long way to here
And you blow with a vehemence
That no reed can withstand
The panic in your heart
The futility of a start
The hours piling up
By the ticking of clocks
And you've come to take
The sleep and the wake
The succession of day
After day after day
You're a possibility
We decide to fight or flee
But you stay as a preacher
For death is a silent teacher
Death is a silent teacher
