1.
Your ship has sailed again, open waters beckon. I’ll tie the rope three times and you can buy the wind. There is no help for you, and there never will be. The tide will take you down, Lives will be lost at sea. Ask for forgiveness again and hope the wind is blessed. There is no help for you, and there never will be.

Grief Ritual 02:59
You are a pain killer. Scream torture, torture. They can not remember when they didn’t feel numb. Your demons will haunt me. I will carry your grief, this is my ritual. I will never breathe a word. They can’t hide anything. We have learnt to fight. We have not forgotten these bruises and scars. Your demons will haunt me. I’ve walked with the sick. Lost in your burden was bliss. I was more than a conductor of your hips, More then you'd ever care to be missed. I'll take all that makes you ill. This is my ritual.
3.
Footsteps on the frozen ground, only my own. Walking to nowhere forever. Nothing guides me. Leaving for my own sake. I have to. Leaving for my own sake. I have to. I’ll find my piece of mind as my eyes roll back. Tempting myself to stop breathing. Scratch my weary eyes out, sew them shut. Fill my mouth to burst, swallow hard. Today meant nothing to me. This is mine. Today meant nothing to me. This is mine. I’ll find my piece of mind as my eyes roll back. Tempting myself to stop breathing. Finally dying to be awake And with the sunrise I’ll die tomorrow.
4.
I know you feel it, you won’t admit it. I know now. I know now. I see right through, you spoke too soon. I know now. I know now. Pray louder. Pray. I always see it, you won’t believe it. You know now. You know now. I will embrace it, you never face it. You know now. You know now. Pray louder. Pray. We break through, it takes you. But you deny while we try, It keeps us here. It keeps us here. It keeps us here, we live in fear.

Black Gates 03:22
We are, we are the sea air. We are, we are your nightmares. Drown with us. Sink to your grave. Fill your lungs, breathe deep. Sink to your grave. Breathe in the waves.

Torment 02:54
Her burning limbs have given up, She has climbed as far as she can. Her fragile bones begin to crack, As damnation screams her name. She can almost see the sun But the ‘blessed’ came in droves. So let her fall to the putrid. Cast her back down to the dead. Torment is her home. She is the curse. We are the distance. Always will be. When the lusted light burns her eyes, She doesn't close them, open wide. She's embracing pain, to ask for more. She can never ask again. Torment is her home. She is the curse. We are the distance. Always will be. So gather round, murderers. Guard the gates to cast her back.
7.
Look fear straight in the eyes. Heads buried in the hourglass, Time slips away, forever. Grip with broken fingers. And this will be the death of you. So stand face to face.. There will be nothing left, No reason to hide your eyes. Feel free or threatened, Your war is against yourself. And this will be the death of you. So stand face to face. Face to face.
8.
You have nothing to live for. Your life is wasting before you. We see you grip tightly to what will never be. Desire means nothing if you have nothing else. If all you have to hold on to is hope, then let go. If all you have to hold on to is hope, let go. Let go. If all you have is hope, let go.
