| I give my soul to the sea tonight
|
| So that my love can be saved from the dark
|
| Dream will I be, this is a tale of light
|
| I will give all my life for that to be all
|
| Softly he sleeps beside me
|
| Lost in a world of dreams
|
| Knowing soon comes a day
|
| When he will be forced to leave
|
| Oh the sea is searching for something
|
| A light in unending dark
|
| To protect him on the way-
|
| A prayer is not enough
|
| So I’ll make my final journey in his name
|
| Let him steel his heart with all that’s left of me
|
| Nightfall will see me walking
|
| Silently to the shore
|
| Through the trees, branches entwining
|
| Witness my faithful thoughts
|
| Ashen will be the altar
|
| Where I lay down my life
|
| So in the name of love
|
| I make this sacrifice
|
| I will cull the waves and make his passage safe
|
| He will feel my life-force in a
|
| Now in still water…
|
| Crystalline ice enfolding me…
|
| As my life drains away
|
| My spirit soars
|
| I know my shade lives on
|
| Entwined in yours
|
| When he wakes, he’ll know I’m lost
|
| Yet with him forevermore
|
| He will feel me guiding him gently
|
| Onto a foreign shore
|
| As he reaches land, his heart will be strong
|
| And though my form is lifeless, my soul lingers on |
