Storm In a Glass of Water

We know how it ends
We know how it will tear us apart
Arms stretched to the ocean
Arms around the clock we'll succumb
We know how it ends
It sure will end
It'll take us apart

Comforting's the way how silence
Finds its way to open arms
It followed me back home, that rat
I cracked, I felt its luring charm

It's following me where the night begins
Across the line between
Picture blurs, the clock arms turn
I'm out of hospitality
We'll be one
It feels like turning into something in between

It's coming, it's rightwards upside down
Black fortress, evil empire
It's coming to hunt down all we are
Just scorches, towers aspired
I'm trying to find back to your arms
Black fortress, evil empire
It's coming to hunt down all we are
All we are

So the evening slipped
Into the night and then to dawn
We sent the newborn
To a faraway ship and
To a battle he would row
A few would row back

And we drank and we drank
And we drank at the cemetery gates
As always
And, as always
Surroundings in line with the taste
Of a life
Gone to waste

It's coming, it's rightwards upside down
Black fortress, evil empire
It's coming to hunt down all we are
Just scorches, towers aspired
I'm trying to find back to your arms
Black fortress, evil empire
It's coming to hunt down all we are
Black fortress, evil empire
Empire
