In your creation heaven did decree 
That in your arms sweet death should dwell 
Deep Silent Complete 
Black velvet sea 

The sirens are calling for me 
Saved my soul thinking "This song's a lie" 
Sand on the shore is so dry 
Deep Silent Complete 

Black velvet sea 
Brave day sinking in endless night 
The age will say "This poet lies" 
Heaven never touched earthly face 

The age will say "This night was ours" 
Blessed with the Deep 
The Silent the Complete
