lyrics

I had to ask myself
like wounded light
like the hymns of oblivion
in agony, I had to ask myself
my mutilated memory
the sound of the sea
and careless decisions
of the waiting waters
still the hope of someone else
not losing
eternal torment
a soul
the certainty of glory
carefully considered inertia
like concentrated rain
like the intimacy of a fog
a forgotten sky will come to me
like the intimacy of a fog
...
the waiting waters will caress you
the waiting waters, they'll caress you
