Waves Will Rise (On Silent Water)

What do I do when everyone I love fades away
Do I sit back and watch them deteriorate
Do I look to the sky for some invisible sign
The only certainty in life is death
I won't waste my time on my knees
Hoping for the best

When the time comes
And the sun has left your son
I'll trade my soul away
To see your smiling face
To know that you're ok
To know you feel no pain
I'll give everything
I'll give anything

I remember the days when I thought
I'd live forever
An invincible ship
Just pushing through bad weather
But the rains were relentless
And my grasp wouldn't hold
So I sunk in the ocean
And I embraced the cold
I embraced the cold

Then the tide came
And I couldn't find the strength
To push against the current
To fight off the waves
Another nameless sailor
Falling victim to the sea
Wasting my last breath cursing humanity

I could have been so much more than the person
You saw in me
I let this life take the last of
The good I had left
Now I waste time on my knees
Praying for the end
Praying for the end
