PLANKS LYRICS

1. Deluge

We are sailors on shores of temptation
No obliteration – No repentance
Two-faced is the nature of us all
Leave us here, tied to the planks

Dead hearts – serene and calm

2. Forgiveness To Tyrants

Always and always forever
Invoke the collapse
For yours are truly these ruins
Revelation: To flay skin from your neck,
Tender and lurid as a kiss

Covert prestige forever faceless
Hide behind tranquil eyes
Statues of stone
Losing everything in the end

You brought this on yourself

3. Mollusk King

[Instrumental]

4. Fist Of The Ocean

Black serpents rise from water
Crushing grounds and life
Nothing sacred around here
The bearer of nature
Truth lies so deep

Black waves
Cease life
Faint dreams
Grounded
Silence

A force so strong
Ending temporal reigns
Dark water swallows
The burden of transgression

5. Totenschiff

(I stole from the tombs your last drips of breath
Walking blinded, trying to compensate for this loss
Help me find the way aboard this ship)
Carry me away,
Right into the eye of the storm,
For this is where we cross
I stole from the tombs your last shining tears
I see they are beautiful
But only lies can make it to heaven
We are both on a way, walking without sight
We became the blinded because we denied to see

6. The Curse Of All Things Drowned

Fear grips my wrist
Leeches crawl down my throat
Respiration, dissolve me
Pale sunshine, liquid horizon
Pull me under – Take me closer
Your hell is my temple
Hand me salvation
Father, let me drown

7. Narrows

Just two inches of skin and bone
Separate worlds
A gap, two roads, different directions
I can’t change the course,
It is just wrong
Not even half the truth as there used to be
What once was meant to live,
Drowned in this maze

8. The Harpooner's Divide

You adhered to the harpoon we almost ran in
If this is how it has to be, fine.
Still we will not abandon this vessel.
You want us to perish
We just said: ‘No, we are alive’
The sons and the daughters of life we are,
The sons and the daughters of hungry gods we will be.
There is a time
To make past’s wrong decisions decline
And head for the oceans
It is us, it is here and it is right – right now.
Heave down what is transfixed and consoled with resentment
