When the Seas Do Rage
Lyrics by s. bolejack
"I'll hold my way, on the course I'll stay
when the mast has fallen, when the seas do rage
But I can't pretend, that I'm exempt from an end
I prayed for a Queen, she arrived on the wind
From a vertical wall I hang, fingers numb to pain
Love is in my hand, or is it just my brain
What I felt is real, to a rising Sun I kneel
electric tendrils grasp, my living heart did she steal...
---
Please let I now rephrase, for I write in a daze
clouds lay thick outside, a morning born in haze
What she took I gave, I'd give it again today
not on whim for play, the Fathers breath blew my way
I sanctify, all words sent to her
may they go in light, may time between become a blur
OH necessary, wary fears - do not exist here
I will travel on by faith, until I hold her body near
---(CHORUS)---
MY HOME ON THIS GREAT EARTH DOES HIDE...FROM MY EYES
ALONE I WALKED TILL SHE GAVE LIGHT...TO MY SKIES
JAH PLEASE DONT TAKE HER FROM MY SIDE...TILL YOU RISE
THEN WE WILL BOTH EXIST AS LIGHT...FOR ALL TIME
---
Through the battle field I march, over grounds cracked and parched
bodies thrown asunder numb a soft and broken heart
A swordless Knight was I, until I learned to fly
once it was my body, now the strength is in my eye
A pinnacle of disdain, when the prince of darkness reigns
a warriors victory, on my blade his blood does stain
Wounded I laid my head, called for my Fathers bread
asking only water, given shepherd's wine instead
---
A voice was whispering, tones aloft as if on wing
"Never shall you cry, I will be your everything"
I pulled myself to look around, all I saw was barren ground
but inside something stirred, am I the last of a table round
As I thought my life would pass, for such a gift I dare not ask
rocks and sand a desert land has given way to grass
A fertile field now sown, but will the fruit I own
longing for her touch, a pain that cuts - to the bone...
---(chorus)---
MY HOME ON THIS GREAT EARTH DOES HIDE...FROM MY EYES
ALONE I WALKED TILL SHE GAVE LIGHT...TO MY SKIES
JAH PLEASE DONT TAKE HER FROM MY SIDE...TILL YOU RISE
THEN WE WILL BOTH EXIST AS LIGHT...FOR ALL TIME
---
I'll hold my way, on the course I'll stay
when the mast has fallen, when the seas do rage... "
