Siren

I'm million years old and 
I've never got to fall asleep
In either of my lifetimes
From sunfalling to sunrise
I only knew the torment of the wait
Which used to creep by the days
And it'd lengthen in pale nights
Til one time you heard me calling

In all my wandering discoveries
I found out time wasn't mine to lose
And one day it could turn on me
But I've never gave up destiny
And I chased every promise of life
Through dark days and pale nights
Til one time I heard you calling

A long time ago
I left a part of my soul
back in your promise land
And with your own hands
You still want more

My love is an ancient curse
You've set yourself free
My love is a dying prayer
In your time of need
My love is a faded dream
You've woke up in time
A blinding light
A poem you failed to rhyme
A dimmed fantasy of eternity
A tale a siren would tell
In your silent sleep

I saw my soul breaking in two
As my heart rebelled violently
I knew I've lost it to the waves
Across the island in your gaze
My eyes had the size of the moon
Filling the sky, ceasing the gloom
And soon darkness met the day
I never could wish it all away

You came to me like a bliss
And a bless I've always craved
At the reach of my bare touch
You can only dream so much
Til the want outgrow the need
Blinded by light, I see clear
The journey that guides me

My love is an ancient curse
You've set yourself free
My love is a dying prayer
In your time of need
My love is a faded dream
You've woke up in time
A drowning light
A death you refused to die
A plea sent to outer space
A tale a siren would tell
As you drift away

Tell me when was the last time
You've closed your eyes
So you could see in the dark
When was the last time
You saw heart and reason part
Somewhere in a dream
Loosening hold on all that you know
So through silence you can soar to me

Love and light holding hands
(I've never knew death so alive)
In a kiss where all pleas ends
(In a place of sweet sacrifice)
You sought for me so here I am
(I see the end and the start unite)
In the deep sea of the north lands
(As wish and illusion collide)
From sunfalling to sunrise
To solstices and sunsets

Time became imaginary
With a promise to return again
To the moment where it all began
I knew silence and I knew peace
of single years lasting for centuries
As nothing happened and nothing
kept happening

You showed me grace at such great cost
Though it was a line we both crossed
Breaking the waves which we were tossed
Can you say every love was simply lost?
I'll always wonder in my deepest thoughts
Will every grace come at such great cost?

My love is an ancient curse
You've set yourself free
My love is a dying prayer
In your time of need
My love is a faded dream
You've woke up in time
A boundless light
A merciless sacrifice
An ungrateful state of wait
A tragic tale a siren would tell
To the broken waves

I'm million years old
Watching them unravel
Through each lifetime
Every love, every time
And forging once again
The ending with my hands
'til it'd be covered by the sand
Letting it wash ashore
It's all a dream like it was before

I wonder if I'll see you again
and I think I might do

Lost in the landscape
somewhere in the sunsets of northwest
