list & heel

time stands still

stands still

time stands still

the sea stands still for us my love

our anchor dropped in the rising sun

i hope still for your words to come

all is fair in a war un-won

i still stand

i still breathe

while only salt and death surround me

i long still for your arms my love

hold me close away from things i've done

the waves crash the hull

in morning's quiet calm

the calm before the storm

the break before the dawn

before the shelling starts

and black clouds above

hang over our heads

they bring a flash of death

the cold reaper's hand

tries to pull me in

lances spread off port

aim to split our sides

the run's fanning wake

looks a mile wide

and as the blister breaks

and the ballasts fill

the ship's bell is rung

list and heel with ash cans in the distance

silence deafened

bled in

scuttled and lost

time stands still

stands still

time stands still

time stands still for us my love

our anchor dragged in the smoked out sun

no hope still for your words to come

all is fair in a war un-won

i still stand

i still breathe

while only salt and death surround me

i long still for your arms my love

i long still for your arms
