Nautical Twilight |
As the day gave way |
To nautical twilight |
I turned |
My back on |
The force of which I was made |
I abandoned it |
Rupturing the delicate balance |
When I left my world for his |
Day after day |
As my city fades |
And is swallowed by his sea |
She is boundless |
Even breaking on the beach |
Every hour commenced |
No fusion and fission |
Can unify or drive a force to split |
He has been possessed |
To drink of the spices |
From the east by his liquid mistress |
Which then pushed me into the lair |
Of uranium, she divides time between |
Greed and his twin, tyranny |
Day after day |
Cities all betrayed |
And the earth, his songs lay their blade |
She is boundless |
But by then she has been frayed |
As the night gives way |
To nautical dawn I can see |
I must activate the force of which I’m made |
