The cold dark water
So deep and quiet
Washing along the shore
Moving but not changing

The blinding hands of faith
Cling to me, try to hold me back
As I step through the sand
Towards the waters edge

The darkness hides all
The faith in another life
Empty here, I’m so alone
Moving but never changing

I slowly slide towards the end
The god I loved has gone
And while I submerge into the water
A single question I cry.

I twist and turn beneath the ocean
And stare into the light above
The dark hands of faith wrap around
As I ask “Do you love?”

The god I loved deserted me
But I’m still meant to believe
In the cold and desolate ocean
I scream “Do you love?”

The hands drag me down to the bottom
And choke me, strangle me
The blackness swallows all
And I mouth “Do you love?”

The movement in the black
So sharp, so pure behind the veil
A single voice, a voice that powers all
As I’m asked “Do you love?”
