confusing lyrics

Question

Hello. I was wondering if anybody could help me understand the lyrics of one of my favorite Cradle of Filth songs:

"No light nor reef
No unsinkable of romance keeps me
Safely from the stormy seas
Now drowning, resounding
Death-knells pound my dreams
Unthinkable to dredge through this
Listless and lonely winter frieze"

I figured the last word should be "freeze" instead of frieze but I'm still very confused about the sentence "No unsinkable of romance keeps me safely from the stormy seas". What does "no unsinkable of romance" mean?

TIA

I would anticipate it means
"No unsinkable (ship/rock that is) romance"

Hi

If there is someone in your life that you love, then you feel like a ship that is unsinkable

Other things that help ships in that situation are lighthouses. Reef is difficult because it is a coastal island that can be dangerous for ships; however, a reef is also a sail on a ship that can be used safely in a storm

Having no light, no reef and not feeling unsinkable is, I guess, a way for the singer to say he feels insecure
