in the wake of forgetfulness - a dream of poe lyrics

Loading...

i’ve given enough time to lethargy
twenty years ago i set sail to the sea
looking for a beast to make a plea—
that unholy master of thanatology

in the wake of forgetfulness
i search for the fallen one

but in truth i tell you
i forgot what to pursue
the world became askew
all the same in mist and dew
my restless soul still looks out
under the blackened sky
fighting apathy, desolation, and doubt

i was looking for a friend
who met an untimely end
“it’s my mission,” i thought, “to descend
into the waters and the monster apprehend.”

in the wake of forgetfulness
i want to bring back the fallen one

stories told that a sea beast
took the dead as a feast;
and they wandered there for eternity
inside its belly, in captivity
sometimes i thought i’d lose my mind;
some days ravenous, hopeless, and blind
trapped in the swirl of finding my friend
to find him before year’s end
all the anger of not knowing why
a thunderous storm in a silent shout
for not saying a final goodbye

’till the day came when i saw it
and my heart sank into a bottomless pit
souls of the dead were its bones, eerily lit
and before the beast, i lost my valour and wit
