Like a Perpetual Funeral

I reach for my shadow in horror
 Envy eats but its own cold heart
 Some friends, the few that I have left
 Set sail out of the frame I'm in
 ♪
 He begins to die, that loses his desires
 All are not merry that dance here lightly
 Fear follows those who live by the sword and fire
 Heart was my weapon and the death of me
 ♪
 I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue
 It's a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair
 So unto the sea my grief set sail in disbelief
 Fevers and time burn away, nothing is allowed to stay
 ♪
 There is nothing new underneath the sun
 The moon, with its long arms, reaches into the sea
 My eyes were towers high, inside my heaven
 ♪
 And from my body drew a cold breath and final clue
 The sun made clear its thoughts, it was never coming through
 ♪
 I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue
 It's a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair
 So unto the sea my grief set sail in disbelief
 Fevers and time burn away, nothing is allowed to stay
