And The Kingdom Fell - Descent Into The Maelstrom lyrics

And the cold inside his eyes did grow Gathered breath before he spoke Long ago I could have guided you Before this beard grew gray Upon that last ghastly day Upon this latitude The event which left me broken Gaze upon this ocean As waves crash into these cliffs I am composed With this d**h of grandeur And the cold voice Inside these winds Shriek to summon The girth of this vortex Bottomless the abyss Behold the maelstrom It was here amongst my kin We began our descent Into liquid ebony Encircled in chaos Above us and below In this deluge Clinched within its jaws I would witness decimation Of the flesh and of the soul In recollection of this cataclysm I now tremble within As I stared into its eye Cast myself into its walls Clinging as I watched the mast And sails enveloped As the rays of the moon Illuminate into the depths And they perished A cry to heaven Sent from its core A pathway between Time and eternity
