The Isle of Cinder Lyrics

I wonder I wonder

What lies asunder

in the deep mirror waters before me

I wonder I wonder

Below grey skies of rain and thunder

If I should pity frailty

I wonder I wonder

Always on this isle of cinder

My mind a ravenous aerie

Come and take me ocean

Wash away my still body

Let it be an hideous beacon

To all travelling boatmen

Of the dreariness of vanity

Come and rip me ocean

Tear these limbs apart

Let me be a crumbling beacon

To all wandering boatment

Of a man who forgot his heart

I wonder I wonder

with eyes toward the skies domed border

in the deep waters engulfing me

Now I am a capsule of amber

An anchor of anger

On the waves of remembrance

Now a fallen sailor

A half spoken rumour

A man who sought deliverance

I am ash

No words spoken over bitter waves

Nothing to bleed for

Nothing to look for

Lost years a battallion of hate

Such a fool an instrument of fate
