Ark

Eyes closed
Silence
Peace
Slowly giving into the warm embrace of slumber
Breaths like soothing waves
Awakening to a dream
Breath after breath
Wave after wave
The world is flooding over
Safe on the Ark, I'm sailing forward
Wandering past the boundaries
What lost Atlantis
What Isles of the Blessed are there for me?

A night to live a thousand lives
To wander on forgotten shores
And see what’s beneath the surface
The deepest core

Sudden winds, surging waves!
My sails are torn!
Seized, I'm sinking!
The darkest abyss pulling me down, swallowing me!
Creaking wood on a black, raging river
Cold mist, thunders all around
The demon ferryman, with ember eyes
Driving the boat and me towards the other side!
I don’t want to know, don’t want to see
What Hell awaits beyond!

To rise again and rule the sky
The Sun-boat crosses the Underworld every night
Come, sail to the lost realms of the Unconscious
Be reborn!
