This grief I cannot bear
Cuts my will to breath
My wife, beloved star
Thrown overboard at sea
All night I searched in vain
With tempest waves crashing down
And then I found her washed ashore
Clinging to life, her frail body destroyed

But I'll be damned if I do nothing
Bereft of love, hopeless and so forlorn
A newfound hate is born inside me
Against the winds that mocked at my dying bride
Ships set sail on glassy oceans
Lured by the tranquil blue of a lying sea
Betrayed by a hell born darkness
Bent on tearing life from flesh and bone

My heart yearns to traverse the span
Confront his darkened force
May never again set foot on land
The sea is calling chart the course
Bring down this ancient curse

The salted air reminds me of her
Struggling to breathe
My wife, beloved star
Died in my arms in tears
All night I prayed for life
With no answer but wretched grief
And then I vowed to avenge her soul
Seek out the darkened spirit so cruel

My dearest love, you must not tempt this
Let not your pain rule your heart
This storm of rage inside your mind now
Will only serve to fuel the tempest
Drop it down, this awful anchor
Your rage will sink you down to the ocean floor
Cut them down, your sails of hatred
They'll take you to a lost place of no return

My heart yearns to traverse the span
Confront his darkened force
May never again set foot on land
The sea is calling chart the course
Bring down this ancient curse

My God how his heart has broke like shattered clay
Oh, my love, oh my heart, would that I could turn back time
Undo this curse and fix your mind
I have come to you in shadows and in dreams
Can't you let go of your pain,
Admit the sane logic of hope and future peace
What is this for
What can I do
Does not this fool's errand warrant action, divine control

Onward we boldly sail into horizon deep
Surrounded by the night, moonlit waters ripple beneath
Off in the distant west, a flash disrupts the darkness
Could it be my wicked foe
Thrashing, disrupting, corrupting my soul

At last, the demon storm reveals
Its waiting there for me
Waters rising high above the bow
A heart of vengeance speaks
Your doom will be this night
Follow the path toward ruin and pain
Desperation corrupts the senses
Losing control of the helm

Lord of earth and sea subdue this darkness
Would that you had intervened and let not his misery
Take hold this maddened siege
Distant rumblings of an ancient gale bestowed
The path of ruin abounds
As the foul spirit unfurls his mighty wings unleashed
What was this for
What has he done
Does not this fool's errand warrant action, divine control

As dark clouds cover the sky
Heavenly streaks of light divide
Ensuing dread of what may come
Should this vengeance fail, undone

A gust of wind so unnaturally strong
Splits mast from hull, comes crashing down
Waves crash over as men are tossed overboard
Ship careened as water fills the void

Ancient Lord of Heaven Divine
Spare his life and crew inside
A sinking vessel torn apart
Plunging ever down so far
Renew strength that once had reigned
Give breath to those death-enslaved
Let him seek new life remained
Let go of inflicted pain

As the morning breaks and the seas return serene
Reborn again from leagues below
A heart of sorrow speaks
My love stood by my side, such love divine
What you seem to imagine in grief so bare
Is broken inside the flesh
And you will find not
Comfort in death nor relief from despair
A life wasted on shame from what could have been
But the storm depraved your mind
Took hold its claws into
Your soul led you to falter
Burning all reason on its alter
