Graveyard of Tides

Through the mist of a dying dawn

I walked where the black waves bled

Rusty giants in silence slept

Iron bones of the ancient dead

Broken masts like skeletal hands

Pointing up to a poisoned sky

The wind whispered cursed names

Of sailors who came to die

The tide was breathing slow tonight

Like a beast beneath the foam

I felt the cold beneath my skin

As if the sea called me home

Welcome to the graveyard of tides

Where the lost ships drift and cry

Anchored deep in the endless night

Where forgotten captains lie

Hear the chains of the ocean roar

Hear the ghosts inside the storm

You may walk upon these shores

But you will never return

Steps in sand that were not mine

Echoed through the hollow bay

A phantom fleet beneath the fog

Slowly drifting into gray

I saw my face upon the mast

In the rust of a shattered hull

Eyes of terror staring back

From a fate already full

The tide began to rise again

Like a drum of doom below

And every ship began to groan

With a truth I’d never know

Welcome to the graveyard of tides

Where the broken vessels sleep

Where the ocean keeps its oaths

In a silence dark and deep

Hear the bells beneath the waves

Hear the drowned men call my name

In this harbor of the damned

I have become the same

Now I see the endless lie

Written in the drifting foam

Every man who finds this shore

Finds the place he calls his tomb

Time dissolves in salted air

Night devours the fading light

And the ship that claimed my soul

Waits for me in endless night

I am the ghost of the dying tide

Bound to watch the waters bleed

Every night my death returns

Every wave repeats the deed

In the graveyard of the tides I stand

Where eternity is born

Living out my final breath

Forever drowned… reborn.
