[Verse 1]
I walk this earth in torment
I bathe in anguished waves
I carry this storm inside
No rest and no escape
Unfounded fire feeding the siren's call, the keening
Defeatedly yearning to be lost in death's sweet embrace

[Chorus]
I do not fear the darkness
I do not fear the cold
This mortal form is tired
This weary soul is old

[Verse 2]
Memories of life
Nightmares of waterlogged remains
Agony bleeds
And robs me of dreams

No reconciliation
No rest and no escape
No carnal worldly sin
Could ease this ancient ache

[Chorus]
I do not fear the darkness
I do not fear the cold
This mortal form is tired
This weary soul is old
[Verse 3]
O deepest, darkest sea
As I slip into perdition
May I glimpse the absolution of mortality's delusions
For here is an eternal continuance
Free of adversity and useless martyrdom

[Chorus]
I do not fear the darkness
I do not fear the cold
This mortal form is tired
This weary soul is old

[Verse 4]
Fading into peaceful oblivion
Bright lights behind closed eyes
My spirit one with the ebb and flow, the tide
The rumble of my soul still and quiet now
My heart fluttering against the iron bars of my body
Fighting to stay awake
