Forgive me, dead love, mortal, unfinished
Scorn, bloodlust, selfish, misled odium
Now cursed, dead love, I knew not the wounds I'd cut

Naked mast bearing no sails
Rudder's bound in icy slumber
A ship, drunken with coldness

Numb to the grey season, resting in soullessness
Roll of the gambler's dice
Hiding from the world in dim tavern light, tavern light
Nothing but stillness to be seen

Nothing has come of me and none of me leaves
A common death in relative peace

Merchants afar, long-forgotten scent of spice
Fishermen longing, their nets of solid ice
Love over the horizon, your sweet face forgotten

Celestial lights, the stars sleeping
Hidden from sight, no one to lead
Distant waves roam with no bow to break them
The idle rot, no adventure to seize

Dead love, missing your kindness, never forgotten
Longing for your gift of fire

Dead love, missing your kindness, never forgotten
Longing for your gift of fire

Dead love, missing your kindness, never forgotten
Longing for the spark that once inspired my soul

With precious time, we pay the price
Too old to write of innocence
Too young to write of wisdom
Shame to the one who has forgotten his soul upon the sea

Dead love, missing your kindness
Once had, never forgotten
Longing for the fire that once inspired my soul

Dead love, missing your kindness
Once had, never forgotten
Longing for the fire that once inspired my soul

Dead love, missing your kindness
Once had, never forgotten
Longing for the fire that once inspired my soul

Ghost, forgive me, forgive me
