The Pale Horse's Cargo

(Intro - Heavy, distorted bass riff repeats slowly, accompanied by the sound of waves and distant bells)
(Verse 1)
Twelve ships drift on a silent tide
With rotting timber and hollow pride
From the East, the wind blows cold
Carrying stories that won't be old
The rats dance on the coil of rope
Gnawing the anchor, severing hope
No sword was drawn, no arrow flew
Just a silent vapor passing through
(Chorus)
Open the gates for the unseen guest
Put the weary sailors to their rest
A gift of gold turned into dust
Iron shackles consumed by rust
The pale horse rides on the foaming sea
Delivering us to destiny
(Verse 2)
Messina sleeps in a ignorant bliss
Unaware of the serpent's kiss
The flea that jumps, the blood that boils
Staining the purity of the soils
Fathers greet sons with a warm embrace
Not seeing the shadow upon their face
The ledger is marked with a heavy hand
Darkness descends upon the land
(Chorus)
Open the gates for the unseen guest
Put the weary sailors to their rest
A gift of gold turned into dust
Iron shackles consumed by rust
The pale horse rides on the foaming sea
Delivering us to destiny
(Guitar Solo - Slow, emotional, and heavily distorted, building tension)
(Bridge)
The coins they trade are cold as ice
Every breath demands a price
The harbor mouth is a gaping grave
Nothing left here for us to save
(Chorus)
Open the gates for the unseen guest
Put the weary sailors to their rest
A gift of gold turned into dust
Iron shackles consumed by rust
The pale horse rides on the foaming sea
Delivering us to destiny
(Outro)
Cargo of shadows...
Cargo of bone...
We are left...
All alone...
(Feedback fades into the sound of a tolling bell)
