“I am a shallow presence among a sinking sea
Harboring every sailor sent from Galilee
The captives roar from the depths of those caverns
Sorrows known only in the devils tavern
That night, I was abruptly stolen from this dream
As my nightmares danced and my soul began to gleam-
I feared every shadow that lays beyond this realm
For at the gates of reality, shadows are at the helm.
-But love is as transcendental
As death does plow
As much as the thorn is gentle
Upon my brow
Timely tales unravel my gaze
From your splintered skies
As you remain stagnate through this haze
Living solemn lies
No correlation remains
But only what you observe
Sinking seas and pillaged plains
Bound to your every nerve
Does the sea question the celestial?
Or the heavens question the stars?
As a rich man knows he is *******
Or as the slave counts his own scars?
I assure you, I am as unchanging
As your solemn lies
As the sinking seas are forever raging
Oh child, you will rise.”

Or as the slave counts his own scars?
I assure you, I am as unchanging
