| Paralyzed, you pass me as you’re sinking
|
| I fight the waves, you dig my grave
|
| Into the ocean floor
|
| A fragile mind capsized and blinded by a paramour
|
| Mesmerized, I’m rising with the bends
|
| Contempt growing like moss on the tip of my tongue
|
| By guess and by God
|
| For all and evermore
|
| Flashbacks of love lost cast out to sea
|
| Treasured hearts broken
|
| Pieces rain down on me
|
| Surging moon as our worlds collide
|
| A king is born in starry skies
|
| And now I’m slowly quietly, drifting away
|
| Hypnotized, set adrift the swollen vessel
|
| Immortal in the current pull
|
| Far from the doldrums
|
| Static ignites a foul berth in the sacred space between us
|
| Now the light has faded into who I used to be
|
| Memories in echoes forever haunting me
|
| You speak to me in a whisper
|
| From your heavenly hideaway
|
| In a violent sea of skeletons
|
| Overboard and tumbling in
|
| Reach your hand down from the clouds
|
| And hold my head under the water
|
| Apathy stands the test of time
|
| When leaving no one behind
|
| Poseidon ignored like a voice from within
|
| An oracle’s warning, the salt on my skin
|
| Deadly sea creatures begin closing in
|
| The octopus, electric eel, the shark, and the squid!
|
| Hanging from a rope to mend the devil
|
| As rolling thunder scrapes across my back
|
| A piercing stare from my weathered eyes
|
| And without hesitation I begin my attack
|
| Until today, a bloodless existence
|
| But now the waves roll over red
|
| In this odyssey the enemy will suffer
|
| For the first to attack is the last to be dead
|
| Opus Dei
|
| There will be no other way
|
| In the ancient order of the deep
|
| I’ll rock the maritime to sleep
|
| Until returning on my dying day
|
| Empty this seagrave shall stay |
