The sun plunges into the ocean A blazing titanic stone The mother of madness opens her arms And swallows you whole in the night
Penny she waits all alone in the dark Her tears outnumber the stars Her man heβs been gone now for so long Wonders will he ever come home
Icarus cried when his wings got fried Sailing too close to the sun He paid for his folly with his young life Left a poor father to grieve
No it ainβt always funny but somehow its seems The fates they just come in between Cause the gods love a joke just like anyone else Especially when the joke is on you
This was actually written as a song, but I'm pawning it off as poetry anyway. At the time I wrote it I was on a dark mythology jag. I got over it.
