Across the darkness of the ocean
Moonglow is our only guiding light
Glimmers dance across the water
Waves stretch viciously into the night

As they reach to brush the stars
And slowly dim our brilliant satellite
Explosions of blue split open the decks
Deep bellows from beneath slow down the time

I feel the bow and my heart break apart
Ripped sails sodden with saltwater rain
My loves fallen hands point to the fated bottom
As I bleed into the great elemental vein

Counting breaths amongst the predatory black
I mourn dampened dreams of reaching the harbor
But the rogue can only steal that which we can touch
Our bones become nothing more than wreckage in the water

In the morning we'll fade into ancient yesterday
Rotten flotsam weakened by the vast savage sea
I'll meet you again my love, in the fields of Elysium
As an infinite sunrise sails us into eternity
