lyrics
Blinded by the veil Steam rise to the sail I set a course for the source But the storm was in force I can’t sleep can’t sing So I sink softly I kept cool for the catch But my song was no match Bear the wait bear the weight Won’t you burn anyway And I breathe smoke Burn on burn on It’s treacherous under the surface Perilous your secret purpose I go to the depths alone To sink like a stone like a stone Like a stone Subtle the sea Mighty the beast I was only waiting for how you would say the word I’m adrift with thoughts of your sweet discord You crash against this rock but I am anchored in too deep To move the madness and the mass that I keep So I breathe smoke Burn on burn on It’s treacherous under the surface Perilous your secret purpose I go to the depths alone To sink like a stone like a stone Like a stone
