lyrics

Heavy waves
Ethereal Black Cardinal
Show me the way.
Bring me to the edge of the storm.

Heavy Winds
Ethereal Black Cardinal
Show me the end.
Bring me to the eye of the storm.

Chaos echoes through.
You said to look for the patterns,
But this path isn't safe.
Not sure that we can make it.

Who am I kidding?
You already left.

Who am I kidding?
You already left.
My hands outstretched.
The dream felt so real (surreal)

We go to the Black Cardinal to pledge our servitude.
Beg Black Cardinal, bless us with water and food.
Pray Black Cardinal, don't take our loved ones away.
Black Cardinal, Black Cardinal we'll do anything you say.

Chaos echoes deep.
Thoughts of stopping spill out.
This path was never safe.
Set off for answers anyway.

Who am I kidding?
I convinced you to come
Putting you in harms way.

Who am I kidding?
I can never go back.
Back to where your body lays.

Chaos echoes through.
You said to look for the stars,
But it's been cloudy for days.
Not sure that we can make it.

Who am I kidding?
You already left.
You died a horrible death.

Who am I kidding?
You already left.

Dark waves sail this skeletal crew.
This ship will carry us through!

Tossed about on the open ocean,
This maelstrom will kill us soon.
Racing towards our destination,
Turn back now or face our doom.
Your web of lies, unholy eyes.
Yet we yield in your reverence.
You promised to take us to providence.

YOU PROMISED
YOU PROMISED

Dark waves sail this skeletal crew.
This ship will carry us through!

Tossed about on the open ocean,
This maelstrom will kill us soon.
Racing towards our destination,
Turn back now or face our doom.
Your web of lies, unholy eyes.
Yet we yield in your reverence.
You promised to take us to PROVIDENCE!

Heavy thoughts and an
Ethereal Black Cardinal.
Where are you taking me?
Where are we traveling to?

Heavy Thoughts and an
Ethereal Black Cardinal.
Where are you taking me?
Where are we traveling to?
