lyrics

It's been years since last we met
We may never meet again
I have struggled to forget
But that struggle, it was in vain

For her voice lives on the breeze
And her spirit comes at will
In the midnight on the seas
Her bright smile haunts me still

At the first sweet dawn of light
When I gaze upon the deep
Her form still greets my sight
While the stars their vigils keep

When I close my aching eyes
Sweet dreams my senses fill
And from sleep when I arise
Her bright smile haunts me still

I have sailed 'neath alien skies
I have trod the desert path
I have seen the storm arise
Like a giant in his wrath

Every danger I have known
That a reckless life can fill
Yet her presence is not flown
Her bright smile haunts me still

For her voice lives on the breeze
And her spirit comes at will
In the midnight on the seas
Her bright smile haunts me still

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK
