TEN FATHOMS DEEP

There where the sea meets the dark brooding sky

Blown by the wings on the mystical ocean

Cross the abyss of a dream locked in time

Lost in the mist with the secrets the ocean keeps

Ten fathoms deep

She hails as the storm rips,

Cutting her way through spray and mist,

She sails where the ghost ships

Perish on such a night as this

Prow dive as the west wave,

Shatters its edge across the keel,

Up high as the crest spray

Buries the seal in tides of steel, the storm rages on…

As the waves command, this ship is damned,

This pious sea, the sky degrees what has to be…

There where the sea meets the dark brooding sky

Blown by the wings on the mystical ocean

Cross the abyss of a dream locked in time

Lost in the mist with the secrets the ocean keeps

Ten fathoms deep

Fork lighting, the whips tail,

Lashing the decks enraged and cruel

Hot knife through the mainsail

Shapping  the brittle mast in two,

Now fatally wounded,

Broken and drenched in silent tears,

She climbs for a last breath,

Surfacing  once to disappear and rest down below…

Till she sails again, this ship condemned

To tragically relive the scene for eternity…

There underneath where the lost sleeping lie

Draped in the wreath where the grave never opens

Rest in the peace where the brave never die

Bury the beast with the secrets the ocean keeps

Ten fathoms deep

There where the sea meets the dark brooding sky

Blown by the wings on the mystical ocean

Cross the abyss of a dream locked in time

Lost in the mist with the secrets the ocean keeps

Ten fathoms deep
