Lyrics
At dawn
Beginning at dawn.
We lift the veil
Revealing the truth or confronting reality.
Treachery beckoned all
Betrayal called out to everyone.
Coffins once set sail
Coffins, symbols of death, were once on a journey.
For all dreams but their own
Pursuing dreams at the expense of others' dreams.
A path of widows
A journey marked by the suffering of widows.
Sinew and bone
Highlighting the harsh reality of the journey, emphasizing physical and emotional pain.
For none they sire
No descendants or heirs for the actions.
The ghosts of ire
The lingering impact or spirits of anger and resentment.
Oh, how we plead
Expressing desperation in the face of tragedy.
When scarce of tragedy
When faced with very little tragedy.
I muster the mouths
Gathering and expressing the pain and suffering of others.
Of misery
Highlighting the abundance of misery.
Bathe me in oceans of wine
Metaphorically immersing in excessive luxury or indulgence.
Long we bore its lashings
Enduring the consequences for a long time.
For who am I
Ruminating on one's identity and significance in the context of time.
To time
Questioning the importance of oneself in the grand scheme of time.
Oh, how we plead
Repetition of the plea in the face of tragedy.
When scarce of tragedy
Experiencing scarcity of tragic events.
I muster the mouths
Again, collecting and expressing the pain and suffering of others.
Of misery
Reiterating the prevalence of misery.
But what of the depths from which you fell before
Reflecting on the past and the depths of despair.
Were the winds as bitter as the taste
Questioning the intensity of past hardships.
Tell me of the pain escaped
Requesting details of pain endured and overcome.
Your blessings solely by the pity of grace
Suggesting that blessings come from the mercy of grace.
For none they sire
Reiteration of the absence of heirs for actions, emphasizing the enduring impact.
The ghosts of ire
The lasting spirits of anger and resentment.
