Like a Perpetual Funeral

I reach for my shadow in horror 
  Envy eats but it's own cold heart 
  Some friends, the few that I have left 
  Set sail, out of the frame I'm in 

  He begins to die, that loses his desires 
  All are not merry that dance here lightly 
  Fear follows those who live by the sword and fire 
  My heart was my weapon, and the death of me 

  I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue 
  It's a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair 
  So unto the sea my grief set sail, in disbelief 
  Fevers and time burn away.  Nothing is allowed to stay 

  There is nothing new underneath the sun 
  The moon with it's long arms, reaches into the sea 
  My eyes were towers high, inside my Heaven 

  And from my body drew a cold breath and final clue 
  The sun made clear it's thoughts, it was never coming through 

  I saw the evening anew, all lean and red of hue 
  It's a lonely ocean out there, watched from my shore of despair 
  So unto the sea my grief set sail, in disbelief 
  Fevers and time burn away.  Nothing is allowed to stay
