lyrics

Poseidon
Here in the depths of my world-ocean
I contend with my destination
Once home became a black void
Altered from loneliness
A stronghold of malfunction and emptiness

Behind the facade
I endure my legacy
Never found conviction in myself
Even though this is not who I am
Even though I'm not faltering
Pressure forces me to amend

Neither a plea nor a vindication

Here in the depths of my world-ocean
All seem quiet and like an adornment
Will they ever know how it feels to be alone?
Will this burden even crack my collarbone?

Und im Fluss der Gezeiten
Häufte sich immer mehr Ballast hier unten an
Doch egal wie sehr es brennt ich lerne wieder zu kämpfen

I saw ships sink
They were drowned into oblivion

Kennst du auch das Gefühl, nicht richtig zu wissen wohin der Weg als nächstes gehen soll?
Und dieses Feuer, was da einst brannte, ist irgendwie weg.
IGNITE A SPARK AGAIN

Wellen und Gezeiten kamen und gingen
Und mit ihnen wurde alles dunkler und du irgendwie schwächer und müder
NEVER SURRENDER

Das Gefühl das der Antrieb fehlt doch die Stimme in dir sagt hier unten gehst du kaputt
I MUST DARE TO ASCENT

Noch ein letztes Mal den Schlamm aufwühlen
Noch ein bisschen Ruhe und die Kälte spüren
Noch einmal Trost und Hoffnung und Ehrlichkeit
Noch einmal alles zerschlagen und dann bist du bereit
I WILL RISE

I will rise

2x Endurance and hope
Try to breathe and cope
It's pressure and pain
For us all to stand the strain

ENDURANCE and hope
ENDURANCE and hope
