Echoes in the Deep / Vespera Blackwater

Silence hums beneath the skin… Hidden currents pull within. Moonlight hide a shallow veil… I move unseen I set the trail Soft steps on damp ground no spark no flame A silent song a shifting name The world is loud but I am quiet A distant cry then I ignite it Shadows cling to every tree They whisper secrets meant for me I taste the fear that hides in air It tells me all that others dare not share No storm no roar my subtle art A single thread can break a heart I trace the path that others miss I weave the darkness into bliss Echoes in the deep I call the tide Echoes in the deep where secrets hide I will be the voice that bends the night A siren in the shadow guiding fright Mist curls like fingers thin and slow I move where no one’s meant to go The space between the seen and known That’s where I claim the whispered throne I feel the pulse of distant pain Your trembling earth your hidden stain I am the hush before the scream The unseen force behind a dream No fire no force just silent sway A subtle push that steals the day The world unfolds with every breath I am the quiet hand of death Echoes in the deep I chart the course Echoes in the deep the hidden force I stir the currents with a single tone A siren in the dark unseen alone Beneath the surface I draw the line A gentle pull that feels divine They think they run yet they remain Bound to my song caught in the chain Wind and water bone and stone All obey the seeds I’ve sown I watch them dance I watch them fall From quiet shadows I control it all Moonlight fractures glass on skin I trace the cracks I let them in Every secret every lie I hold within my silent eye No thunder needed no harsh cry Just the slow relentless sigh The world will bend the world will bow In shadow’s grip they learn how Echoes in the deep they call to me Echoes in the deep from sea to sea I am the siren no one sees Yet all who wander fall to their knees Echoes in the deep I shape the night Echoes in the deep I am the light Not from sun not from flame But from the hush that bears my name Soft steps fade yet linger on A whispered song forever drawn You feel it still though I’m away... Echoes in the deep where shadows stay
