Reaching out in dead of night

Emptiness by candlelight

Memory, a haunted sea

Souring in sudden rage

The damage plagued upon my love

Driven by this selfish urge

To separate yourself from me

But not the way you planned

The gambit flow of shifting thought

She'll write a kiss upon my cross

And with each moment of despair

Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea

Swims; an ocean silently

Swims; the forest of my dreams

Swims; the essence I call me

Come bringing back now can't explain

The measures swept away in pain

Hatred, will I escape your grasp?

Buried feelings let me pass

I cannot kill this final flame

The fire that once consumed my heart

But Hope must have some kind of fuel

And Chance must keep this fire

The gambit flow of shifting thought

She'll write a kiss upon my cross

And with each moment of despair

Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea

Swims; an ocean silently

Swims; the forest of my dreams

Swims; the essence I call me

(sampled interlude)

The gambit thought...

The gambit flow...

The gambit...

The gambit flow of shifting thought

She'll write a kiss upon my cross

And with each moment of despair

Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea

Swims; an ocean silently

Swims; the forest of my dreams

Swims; the essence of my being

The gambit flow of shifting thought

(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)

She'll write a kiss upon my cross

(Looking for the shore)

And with each moment of despair

(I hope that this is the last time)

Lay to heart a lovely tear

(I hope that this is the last time)

Within each bone the salty sea

(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)

Swims; an ocean silently

(Looking for the shore)

Swims; the forest of my dreams

(I hope that this is the last time)

Swims; the essence of my being

(I hope that this is the last time)

The gambit flow of shifting thought

(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)

She'll write a kiss upon my cross

(Looking for the shore)

And with each moment of despair

(I hope that this is the last time)

Lay to heart a lovely tear

(I hope that this is the last time)

Within each bone the salty sea

(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)

Swims; an ocean silently

(Looking for the shore)

Swims; the forest of my dreams

(I hope that this is the last time)

Swims; the essence of my being

(I hope that this is the last time)
