lyrics

Chapter 112: The Blacksmith

Find me the mercy of evasion,
My only testament taken
Upon the desolate sea,
The only merciful.

Beat with a stoical compassion:
I'll bring my hammer to you,
I'll bring my hammer to you.

Launch from everything tried;
Cast the living world aside.
It's a fully sheltered lee,
But how could you?

Ode to the infinite and drifting --
By possibility lured.

'Cause it happened.
Oh, 'cause it happened,
My hammer patiently beats.
