Standing still here for a moment
Breath held tightly in my body
A world that's growing darker
Not worth a longer stay
All the wisdom that I earn
Can't make a change to this state
As I lay down my spirit's arms
On my knees to seal my fate
I cast my hopes into the waters
Awaiting judgement from the sea
And some day The Tide Will Rise
Up so high to swallow me
Collapsing pride and fading joy
Are marking my capitulation
Top a world that cries in pain
And slowly dies in misery
Come the demons of my soul
To carry my sane mind away
I'm just a noble sir of honour
Who has left it's way
I cast my hopes into the waters
Awaiting judgement from the sea
And some day the tide will rise
Up so high to swallow me
