The ocean plunges, deep as death
Purging, hating, human breath
The ******* current licks upon
The sand, once gold as Avalon
Unsated tide that never rests
But in my unmoving chest
The aching ocean meets the shore
Stained with blood, demanding more,
Sharpens its pink coral knives
To shear from home our mortal lives
Not content to obey Fate
It must instead hold seperate
The earth and sky, the man and soul
Far from the land with deadly shoal
Rend from his precious love and home
Stretch into lonely unknown
Savor his hopeless, dying sighs!
Scorn the free, wide-open skies,
Strike his heart to burning core
And his echoes, nevermore
Shall carry over your grey waves
As you betray the heart that craves
The freedom of your blue embrace
And escape from mortal ways.
