lyrics

This is placidity
A search for tranquility
The lake is so smooth
This thought is so new

Birds fly silent,
On the surface to the silent sea
Life from the river
Leaks from the liquid tree

Floating on the mirror
A fisherman casts his line
Ripples mar perfection
Radiate circles in time

There's no way of knowing
What really brought him here
With his torn and hollow heart
And his consuming fear

His bait is just memories
And his prey is just a life
Lost in the stillness
As morning leaves the night

Dark waters writhe and churn
A disturbance deep below
Distant primal shapes form
A promise of hurt long ago

Like a phoenix from the ash
Brave beautiful Apollo breaks free
Chasing the mist and sadness
To return to the sea

Below the surface of this jewel
Dark twisting flowers reach
Miring innocent love
Casting haunted souls to the beach

The fisherman fades with the night
With memories of a tangled thread
Taking words with no meaning
To his watery bed

His bait is just memories
And his prey is just a life
Lost in the stillness
As morning leaves the night
