It Drowns Me

It drowns me

This pure pain of yours

Purer than the purest element

Elemental beings we die

Death, the sweetest of sacrements

We ascend

My spirit and I

To an unknown world

Of dirt and ashes

It is the latter which holds patience

I wait, the pain eduring

I endure the nightmare

My dream grows empty

My heart, it dies

My brain, it ceases to exist

The ceaseless future burns on

I fade into the ashes

The wind picks up

And I float into the sea

I am no more.
