Atonement

 Atonement 


Adrift in the majestic turbulent sea 

Waves raged like thunder, rained on me 

The tide swept me in distant eerie song 

Summoned me to sail to where I belong

Drifting far away from the craggy shore 

The Beast inside me rage and roar 

A mountain rose like an altar in sight 

Beneath the clouds bathed in light 

Was it Flames raging on its lofty peak? 

Consuming me in the havoc it will wreak

Glowing embers around me sprouted flame

I heard her ethereal voice call my name 

From the shadows I hear a mournful moan 

I walk through darkness that chills my bone 

My heart quivers, in my soul struggles loom

Threatened by shadow of imminent doom 

Darkness swallows me, a heart of stone

Beckons me for my sins to atone 

At her altar I lie naked and shed my blood 

My Heart will burst like a pent-up a flood
