May the Waves Take Me

Standing at the seaside
Gazing into the distance
The ocean and me
Have always been connected

Here where I stand
The coast is steep and rugged
I try to remember
What it felt like
To touch the water
For the first time

Just a few steps left for me
To swim into eternity
And part myself
From here

May the waves take me
To a world below
To an ulterior abyss
Where warmth embraces my soul
May the thought break me
The taste still sleeps in there
I feel the ocean reaching out for me
Our fate to share

Although the waters' cold bites me
I continue my way forth
The tide begins to rise
Water fills my lungs

Eventually we become one
After all these years

Just a few steps left for me
To swim into eternity
I part myself
From time

May the waves take me down
May the thought break me
The taste still sleeps in there

These were the last steps for me
To swim into eternity
Nothing is left
That I would ever miss
