Always searching, never finding,
Growing colder every mile.
Life a thread that keeps unwinding
On this unforgiving isle.
Man o vessel lost and stranded
How you’ve lost your innocence.
Look at yourself – understand it,
You’ve been shipwrecked ever since.
Shadows fall as waters rise in.
This a cruel calamity.
Silhouettes on the horizon.
Shadows of humanity.
Man o ship without a captain,
Who will clean up the debris?
Look at yourself – see what happened,
Justice saw your mutiny.
Man o vessel lost and stranded
How you’ve lost your innocence.
Look at yourself – understand it,
You’ve been shipwrecked ever since.
But shattered sails still have their glory.
Beautiful though broken art.
Scattered on the rocks a story.
Fragments of an Author’s heart.
Man o shipwreck on the high seas.
Look at yourself – see what I see.
All the things you could have been.
Man o shipwreck on the high seas,
Look at yourself – see what I see.
All the things, all the things you could be, you could be.
