Seagrave

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, I'm 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 I'm 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 echo's 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 oracle's 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

I'll rock the maritime to sleep

Until returning on my dying day

Empty this sea grave shall stay
