Crushed by her volatile waves She means well Still I sink Blotted out of her surface ~ In the wrath of my defender Weighed down by his ghosts My band of stars fades Under ages of blue ~ Once ignited words are flooded And misfire in the depths As their proud ocean swells With a…

Pacing, in the ruins of a garden In the royal blue morning Before the stars die out ~ Only the children speak From the moss-cradled bones Of their mother colossus Their harmonies Rising and falling in the maze ~ Only their anthems toll From once radiant castles Their cautionary wail In pursuit through the…
