I took the coldest wave
Withstood the deathly tides
I drift towards my watery grave
Bereft the power to defy
Another stream
Another dream forsaken
Nothing but a dead ashore
Or a sunken bait
A fate concealed forevermore
A piece of flotsam hits my shoulder
And I grab the weathered plank
Head and hands above the surface
Freezing waters in my lungs
There's no alacrity
The torrent pulls me deeper down
Frost from a million needles
And the water's rope unyielding
And the water's touch alluring
As the sirens call me
When my footprints touch the shore
Seek the waves that I adore
When my time has come to go
Inside this billow
I am servant to the tide
Nothing but a token
Played out as a sacrifice
Sun beyond my back
As the stream devours me whole
Deus Ex won't come
I’ve played my role
Now the abyss calls me home
As numbness lifts my spirit
From this liquid agony
I send my final thoughts
The tides will set me free
When my footprints touch the shore
Seek the waves that I adore
When my time has come to go
Inside this billow
I am servant to the tide
Nothing but a token
Played out as a sacrifice
When the last of us is gone
To serve the tide and fade forever
When I leave to be no more
Will I even be remembered
As starlight in the sky
A remnant of past beauty
Remain as guiding light
To shine forever
One of the albums that influenced us the most, probably even the very core of our sound. Should be in every well-sorted Epic Metal collection! Servants To The Tide
supported by 58 fans who also own “A Servant To The Tide”
Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker
