Lyrics The Barren Sea - Richard Campbell

You think me a monster
You know what I've done
But do you believe I'm proud of what I've become
I awoke in this world with a benevolent heart
But baptized in blood, I've torn my fragile soul apart

Father won't you forgive me
You are gone and now I see I'm alone

You need not be afraid
The debt has been repaid
And guilt weighs heavy on my mind
Anger fades away
The red sky turns to gray
Over the barren sea where in my death
At last I'll be set free

Here lies my last victim
My change is complete
From fallen angel to malevolent beast
But even the devil has his legions of the damned
Rejected and orphaned I have no place in this land

Father won't you forgive me
You are gone and now I see I'm alone

You need not be afraid
The debt had been repaid
And guilt weighs heavy on my mind
Anger fades away
The red sky turns to gray
Over the barren sea where in my death
At last I'll be set free

Do not be afraid
The decision had been made
Farewell, my torture ends tonight
Vengence ends today
The red sky turns to gray
Over the barren sea where in my death
I'll set my spirit free

I shall ascend my funeral pyre
And riot in the excess of my despair
The flames will wash my sorrows away
The wind will sweep my ashes into the sea
The bitter sting of guilt which fills my chest
Will vanish when my wounds are closed by death
My body will be borne away by the waves
To a barren ocean grave
