Leave the night and begin your journey
Through the sorrow of your sins
And through the pit of guiltiness
Until the stars above are red
You across the sea cannot pass
In which the corpses of your hopes
Lie beneath the ocean white
The stream of power and forgiveness
Has everyone in the city drowned
The ones who once were wise and still
Are yet only still to become
Until you drown the Drowning Sea
Your tears still flood with the same water
When finally the sun will rise
And the coal birds rise from the ashes
Skies will gather forcefully around
Shape your life, form and being
Until you make out the shape of the drowned
O hail above, the Drowned Ones
