[Lyric] The Barren Sea (Richard Orpheus Campbell)

[Verse 1]
You think me a monster, you know what I've done
But do you believe I'm proud of what I've become
I awoke in this world with a benevolent heart
But baptized in blood, I've torn my fragile soul apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Father won't you forgive me
You are gone and now I see I'm alone

[Chorus 1]
You need not be afraid
The debt has been repaid
And guilt weighs heavy on my mind
Anger fades away
The red sky turns to grey
Over the barren sea where in my death
At last I'll bе set free

[Verse 2]
Here liеs my last victim
My change is complete
From fallen angel to malevolent beast
But even the devil has his legions of the damned
Rejected and orphaned I have no place in this land
[Pre-Chorus]
Father won't you forgive me
You are gone and now I see I'm alone

[Chorus 1]
You need not be afraid
The debt had been repaid
And guilt weighs heavy on my mind
Anger fades away
The red sky turns to grey
Over the barren sea where in my death
At last I'll be set free

[Break]

[Chorus 2]
Do not be afraid
The decision had been made
Farewell, my torture ends tonight
Vengeance fades away
The red sky turns to grey
Over the barren sea where in my death
I'll set my spirit free

[Outro]
I shall ascend my funeral pyre
And riot in the excess of my despair
The flames will wash my sorrows away
The wind will sweep my ashes into the sea
The bitter sting of guilt which fills my chest
Will vanish when my wounds are closed by death
My body will be borne away by the waves
To a barren ocean grave
