Grey and vast, it comes to me The darkness of the flowing sea Strong as storm, hard as stone Dark as midnight, white as bone The end of all, the finite shore Gives birth to salty desert swells Infinite as breathing sky Earthbound as the turn of years It screams, it scorns, its wrath outpours It cradles, soothes, and lends a home It is the end of all that was It is the birth of something gone. Ancient years mar not the deep; Waves drown human sentiment Flashing, pouring, burning tides Know not peace or lenience As sea aches for the shore, my love So I reach evermore for you Shroud of infinity, beware; You fall short of the human soul. For the eternal, I will strive For the gold I've buried there Across paths of the shining sea I will return, and find You there.

The Sea
Grey and vast, it comes to me The darkness of the flowing sea Strong as storm, hard as stone Dark as midnight, white as bone The end of all, the finite shore Gives birth to salty desert swells Infinite as breathing sky Earthbound as the turn of years It screams, it scorns, its wrath outpours It cradles, soothes, and lends a home It is the end of all that was It is the birth of something gone. Ancient years mar not the deep; Waves drown human sentiment Flashing, pouring, burning tides Know not peace or lenience As sea aches for the shore, my love So I reach evermore for you Shroud of infinity, beware; You fall short of the human soul. For the eternal, I will strive For the gold I've buried there Across paths of the shining sea I will return, and find You there.
