Waking up, regreting courses, memories of an upright world
And the splinters become khat-shrubs, easy meed, shapeless and swirled
And the days are spritting fires, beacons for abanoned aims
And the fever is rising higher, is burning faces and burning names
Keep me and hold me, solve me from the glow
Hold me and keep me, take away the woe...
And I'm creeping through the oceans, empty nests in place of eyes
In my veins the hydra is barkling, thirsty for a carthatic lyse
And the clouds are spritting malice, cruelties die of broken hearts
A sigh is leaving the pleasure palace, down to where the circle starts....
Keep me and hold me, solve me from the truth
Hold me and keep me, take away the ruth...
Through the veils of world and heaven's bend
Lead me to the water's end
And through days of ghost and their mirrored land
Lead me to the water's end
And through marble woods, on ships of sand
Lead me to the water's end
And through all the past, held by your hand
Lead me to the water's end
Water's end...
