Ahes from Omphalos by Cesair

Lady, o lady, child of sea-born, all nights I have come.
Embrace this face of noble storm, let the wait be done.
Longing years of lonely lament, absence of your touch.
Herein lies a vital end, can one heart bear as much?

Though the sea now keeps you nearest,
though the ocean holds you close;
my arms still can feel you, dearest,
my heart with you still overflows.
One day the moment finds us, our lives begin all overnew.
Until this moment binds us I will remember you.

Princess, sweet Ahes, light of life, open the gate to me.
Make me enter, make me free, together we shall be.

Then reveal yourself, lonely prince, king of dark abyss.
I have heard you long since, so steal from me a kiss.

My father, father, mortal man
around his neck the key.
I must steal it, he won't see,
together we must be.

Ahes went to the chamber,
took her father's key;
left him there in slumber,
for together they must be.

In came the lover flowing free,
with waves of cold embrace.
Paving the dark streets of the city
and drowning the Ysian race.

Take me lover, bring me under,
life is no more for me.
My last breath will leave yonder,
together we must be.
