Distant Shores Lyrics


Quivering like a blade of grass

At the edge of a long beaten path

Leaving behind the fires of war

Can't help but gaze beyond the shore

Gales are howling

Waves are calling

Torch is burning

As I hoist my battered sail

Now that the rain begins to fall

Compounding the weight of it all

The black and the beauty dissolve

Soul is longing for the wind

Serve its call until my end

Rain over me

Can’t escape the thundering beast

Feel a calling to the grave

Weary planks keep me from the deep

Shivering hands, wielding command

Blackened skies don’t sympathize

Crippling wind, journey begin

Flashes of light disobey night

Now that the rain begins to fall

Compounding the weight of it all

The black and the beauty dissolve

Soul is longing for the wind

Serve its call until my end

Storm is rising

Memories haunting

Ocean’s churning

As I surrender to its will
