When Our Bodies Wash Ashore lyrics

Are you waking up afraid

Are you brave enough to glance behind the curtain

To use the eyes inside

Have you felt them in your sleep

Have you seen them in a vision that's uncertain

A dream outside your mind

Once come upon in and ancient land

I've heard the tales of an unseen hand

Myths of the otherside that took my breath away

Out in the deep I've seen something real

The mouth of the void that the waves conceal

Speaking low, as my thoughts draw near the fray

When the currents carry on

Lifeless waves we float along

There's a solemn depth below

Deeper truth I cannot know

Our own hastened time has come

In this death our minds are young

When our bodies wash ashore

Sorrow's children nevermore

Are you scared to look behind

Do you feel the breath of sunken apparitions

Awake, impure, divine

Now I'm sure they're coming soon

In the blackness my unholy friend has spoken

Through a shiver in my spine

My own senses wash away

I've let go of my eyes

Grant me life beyond the veil

For this humble sacrifice

You're the next to float along

As we all grow insane

Let the dream pull you below

No more watchers will remain

So bring me close to you

I want to be consumed

I'm transcending yet alive

Grant me vision deep inside

Transformed and unafraid

This earthly vessel fades
