Voices from the Shore

Voices from the Shore - Attalus

I hear the voices from the shore

They say come home young man come home the grows

With every mile and lures me in with hellish tones

One more night a lover cries come back to bed

And you'll find your rest your bed's a coffin

I reply your love's the doorway that will

Lead me to my death get back

Still her voice is stirring and I can't drown it out

With just a word make haste make haste

I tell myself you must learn to let go of her

You must let go

You must let go

Another voice transcends the miles

Deadly as poison but sweet as wine come out tonight

She says to me and we'll have ourselves a good old time

Remember that night we sang and danced and drank ourselves

Into a trance course I remember I shouted back

That's the night I lost my innocence but her voice lingers

And I can feel it draw me even still

Make haste make haste I tell myself don't let the lust control your will

You've had your fill

You've had your fill

Now sorrow grips my warring mind as

I think of the people still lining the shore

Lovers and friends I left behind because they couldn't see what I left for

A one night stand

A pint of beer

Did I find happiness in these

I looked for peace in every pleasure

But they only brought me further to my knees

Now a voice is calling me and I can feel it draw me out

To sea make haste make haste it says to me

You must set sail to be set free

You must set sail

You must set sail

Come away

Come awake

Alas I hear a voice call out

He says come home young man come home the grows

With every mile and lures me in with heavenly tone

One more step my savior cries come here to me

And I'll give you rest my feet hit the water

And I run at last right through the door to life and death

And all the voices start to soften as

I walk with my savior on these waves be still be still

He tells my soul your sin is lying in the grave

Don't heed the voice from the shore

They have no power in this place

Take heart take heart you're in my arms

We're walking on a sea of grace

Your soul is safe
