On this old and moldering ship

Storm waters swell,

Bottomless and dark

Blotting out its gilded blaze

–

A winter night’s fury  

Sends us under in splinters  

As the full moon’s hunger

Claws through the fatal breach

–

Among the broken driftwood  

Demons struggle to float

Filled with yesterday’s gold

Sinking deeper into slumber

–

The night expands in the depth

Engulfing our mirage,

The luxurious glow

Of careless worlds long ago
