lyrics

As life consumes, grief renews

Wide and deep is the stream we row down
worn the creaking oar in our hands
great the burden we drag behind us
frail the one at the end of his rope

All we see are the bygone days drifting
further away, despite us resisting
to accept there is nothing we hold as dear
as everything we are doomed to grieve

And we will drown if we don’t
soon let go of that anchor of hope
we tend to hold on to

For ruthless is the wind
wayward the waves it brings
Here we shall float in a state of decay
till the sea swallows us whole

As life consumes, grief renews
for better or worse

All we see is the light of day fading
slowly away, despite us refusing
to acknowledge there’s much unsaid, undone
as brief is the time under the sun

And we will drown if we don’t
soon let go of that anchor of hope
we tend to hold on to

For ruthless is the wind
wayward the waves it brings
Here we shall float in a state of decay
till the sea swallows us whole
