Covenant Discography

I Close my Eyes

in the heat of the moment
in the eye of the storm
when the high tide turns around
I tread water waiting to be found
---
in the dream of the shepherd
in the blood on the thorn
when the warships run aground
I breed monsters feeding on the drowned
---
I seek sanctuary
take me in
keep me safe
I seek sanctuary
take my sins
keep my faith
---
squaring circles cutting ice
hacking numbers telling lies
dreaming nightmares waking up
twisting shouting dying twice
little poems from the skies
fading daydreams falling down
---
in the daze of confusion
in the glare of the glow
when the demon comes unbound
I dive under drowning out the sound
---
in the noise of the silence
in the force of the blow
when the towers tumble down
I sink further going underground
---
can't keep the pace these demon days
are piling up like falling towers everywhere
I could regret or try to forget the little things
that bind my mind to my memories
but I know that down below the pain remains
in different shapes and shades
I need to sleep I have to stop and catch my breath
and view the world with my eyes closed
---
I close my eyes
