The ocean takes its victims as it will.
To question its intent is vain indeed.
Its majesty has no more mind to kill
Than snow assailed by sunlight has to bleed.
The ocean is my enemy today.
The fragments of my vessel stain the blue.
It comes to take my wind, my world, away.
It comes for life, for love. It comes for you.
The ocean cracked the ship like shattered bone,
But spares us from its clutches with a curse.
Of all the joyous moments we have known,
My heart would put no other in reverse.
The ocean shows me what its waves will keep.
I watch it drag you down, to feed the deep.
