The Great Drowner

from A Violent Peace by Esbern Snare

/

lyrics

Friend, have you gone? Are you now displeased? Far underneath there were shadows with me. Patch it up for my mind always bleeds the walls of frames and faces, always in streams. And you ran down the lawn to where I fell. What hand un-dealt? What grace that can be felt. Something so dear, somehow holds on so strong. I spent so long just drying out up here. I was never once for change, nor it for me and yet it came. A thousand miles of wind and rain, and as I drowned the waters sang, "All hail, all hail, The Great Drowner of them all will fail. What man can tell? For the number of his days are veiled." And the sleeping lake, said "I've never learned to wake, for my life you sank; what I've loved you have erased." Oh, life, you've changed. Love, take me home. Life so young.
