Eternal Rest

Take my hand, and follow me I'll 

tell you the secret of eternal rest


You will sleep by me, in the waves scream

With me, in bedlam 


I'll push you over with my hand,

you'll drown under the mast


Shut in a sepulchre,

under earth 

Stillness at last


But lids shut  

you'll still see, black

For lids shut

still we see, black


You will find there is no such thing 

as rest eternal, in fact


And both, we'll scream and laugh

Deep under water we'll both,

we'll scream and we'll laugh

rest at last


At last, 

Rest at last
