In peaceful times or times of ebb
You take a fair delight
In sun-warmed sand to be your ground
And sunscreen´s safely white.

But comes the flood the slowly rising
Ocean eats the sand
And soon the waves start eating you, first
Foot, then heart, then hand.

Until you drown within yourself
And shed a salty tear,
You scream into the depths of you
With no one there to hear.

Now chaos has a grip on you,
The kraken from beneath
Or giant shark or monstrous whale
Leaves little air to breathe.

And all you can is crying tears,
You didn´t learn to swim
Or built a dam protecting you
From you and all your grim.
