Paralyzed, You pass me as your sinking I fight the waves you dig my grave Into the ocean floor, a fragile mind Capsized and blinded by a paramour Mesmerized Im rising with the bends Contempt growing like moss on the tip of my tongue By guess and by God For all and evermore Flashbacks of love lost cast out to sea Treasured hearts broken pieces Rain down on me Surging moon as our worlds collide A king is born in starry skies And now Im slowly quietly drifting away Hypnotized, set adrift the swollen vessel Immortal in the current pull Far from the doldrums Static ignites a foul berth in the sacred space between us Now the light has faded into who I used to be Memories in echos forever haunting me You speak to me in a whisper From your heavenly hideaway In a violent sea of skeletons Overboard and tumbling in Reach your hand down from the clouds and Hold my head under the water Apathy stands the test of time When leaving no one behind Poseidon ignored like a voice from within An oracles warning The salt on my skin Deadly sea creatures begin closing in The octopus, electric eel, the shark and the squid hanging from a rope to mend the devil As rolling thunder scrapes across my back A piercing stare from my weathered eyes and without hesitation I begin my attack Until today a bloodless existence But now the waves roll over red In this odyssey the enemy will suffer for The first to attack is the last to be dead Opus Dei There will be no other way In the ancient order of the deep Ill rock the maritime to sleep Until returning on my dying day Empty this sea grave shall stay
