Departure - Sunken

Under mooncast shadows and shining stars

We do not sleep

Now before the heaving vastness of unbroken blue

I might find eternal sleep

And with these words, I surrender

And bid you farewell

In these tumbling waters unending

Our hardships end at last

And with these wails of lament

A mournful song for our suffering

The losses we endured for so long

In endless agonizing pain

And with these cries of grief

I’m overcome with regret

Unbearabl, overwhelming

Take m from this hopeless, barren place

And through this final departure

I leave this mortal shell

No longer in struggle, no further in doubt

An awakening to peaceful death

And with these final tears

My torment has ended

I embrace my final journey

Towards the stars

In the twilight despair is all around us

There is no peace

Under mooncast shadows and shining stars

We do not sleep

I long for this life to end here

One final release

Now before the heaving vastness of blue

I might find eternal sleep
