Lux Interna Into Nothing (blackwatersong)
Sail on now, out into darkness
Oh my boys
How these black waters rise
Sail on, with a thousand
Goodbyes burning
Back across the shore line
And silently we’ll watch
The buildings tumble
Grey tattered steel
hung across the horizon
I keep my eyes far
From the city
Where the sad sun rises
Only to set
And who is this
Who walks beside us,
Cloaked in sorrow
And in tears?
His voice it whispers
In our ears
But when we listen
There is no one there
For us to hear
Sail on now, into black waters
Leave your dreaming for awhile
Sail on now into silence
Out into nothing
…I suppose
Sail on into darkness
Oh my love
How these black waters rise
Sail on now into the silence
That waits in turn
For the word to speak
Sail on
though hope shall not hold us
As the night comes on
I will wrap around you
All the light
That I can hold
All the light now
That I can bleed
Sail on now into nothing
Leave your harbor safe and warm
It’s tattered sails and cardboard ships
Only play host to the starving ghosts
And who is this who stands beside us
Known in emptiness and in blood
Sail on into nothing
Out into nothing
