Vessels (Allegro in C​-​sharp minor)

from Vessels by Ethos

lyrics

I know the sea.
I know mercy.

You came to me in a time of need.
But I was so selfish back then
And I tried to sail the other way
And save my own skin.

Out of the darkness
There came a light.

I found myself alone,
Running from you but now
I just want to come home.
I’ve been hiding for so long
But now I just want to be found.
I sank like an anchor in the sea
Of your endless mercy
And when I emerged
I was brand new.

I’ve got many tragedies in store.
I am not the man you knew before.

There’s not a place
I could hide from you.
There’s no exit, there’s no way out!

I’m a shipwrecked corpse to be abhorred
Swallowed by the ocean floor.
But because of, You whom I adore,
My heart aches to meet you on the shore,
Lord,
You are not up in the clouds,
Shouting down from a throne.
I feel a tempest in me.
You’re the life inside these hollow bones.
You are the sunrise,
You are the seaside
I’m just a vessel afloat.
You’re not a pendant
Suspended from my neck
To fasten and cause me to choke.

There’s not a place I could hide
Where I could escape from your grace like the tide.
