Black Waters Deep

Floating adrift, through this maelstrom called life
The anchor is lost, somewhere in the tide
No sails that helps, nowhere to hide
Oh this vast sea, this ocean of time.

Your cries echoes silent, as no friend will ever hear
Striving for survival but only meeting your own fear
Going deeper still, sinking so far
Hoping until the end, as the fading light of a dying star.

Black waters haunting, a mist closing in
The breath you take, the last one ever made
Falling down into blackness, where eyes can't ever see
No way to escape, no nightmare from which to awake
Down in the deep, where the darkness draws you in
Gasping for air, choking shivering despair.

Dreams shall perish, no future to behold
Nothing more forever, nothing to no one bestow
No laughter, no joy, not even tears to bear
Sinking to the bottom, this is your final lair.

Floating adrift, through this maelstrom called life
The anchor is lost, somewhere in the tide
No sails that helps, nowhere to hide
Oh this vast sea, this ocean called time.
