A Prisoner On The Seas

As night falls
Silence follows
The air is still
Time is borrowed
All is calm
All is clear
A burning pain
The smell of fear
Tilt the hourglass
Let time take its course
With each passing moment
A thousand new thoughts
Captive, reactive
There is a moment
Shining so clear
There is a time
Lost under fear
I never thought I'd see it this way
Bound into iron, bound to the waves
Black of the ocean, wind in the sails
Darkness descends, bound in these chains
I never thought I'd see it this way
Bound into iron, bound to the waves
As the waves do
Adrift on the memories
Of a time spent with you
A fool for seduction
Was a word of it true?
Time passes by
How I was such a fool
I swallowed your lies
And your charm built my tomb
There was no escape
There was no chance to be free
Your eyes in their glory
Cast their gaze upon me
And now I'm caught
Like a moth drawn to the flame
Bound to the deck
Crack the whip, catch the rain
There's a reflection
Haunting my dreams
How I remain
Who I have been
The curve in your lips, a scimitars blade
Voice of the wind, lead me astray
Knots in your hair like wrecks in the reef
There's a danger to mystery
And if we dare to follow the myth
What we unearth, we must persist
Each of those words
Brushed like silk by my ears
I grasp at the thought
That just one was sincere
Time passes by
But the vision remains
I swallowed your lies
Now the price I still pay
I curse the sky
Until my lips bleed
Solemn and sour
Never be free
I used to dream of running away
No direction, one with the waves
Dust in the air and salt in my chest
The rhythm of oars beat holes in my breast
There is no compass to point me north
No astrolabe to plot a course
As the waves do
You brought me to my knees
A prisoner on the seas
Azure presentations
Bring cause for rumination
It burns so hot in my soul
It carries me on, on and on
If only for a moment
Left weightless in the ocean
It seems so real, so true and so clear
But its wistful thinking based on the premise of chance
But you
You could set me free
A prisoner on the seas
