The wind blew down from the North that day
Casting skulls and dust from the earth's debris
I looked out at the never-ending sea
And begged you just to drown me
Twins and triplets came to watch
The ticking of the final clock
Time can slow but never stops
As long as someone's waiting
We searched the shoreline, you and I
I sat you down so you could cry
Without the cruel and prying eyes
Of those who sought to hurt you
A decade's year became a day
You treated me another way
Changed and never quite the same
Compared to memory
The sun was dead in the West that night
The war was lost on either side
Sought help from God and he replied
That you would someday drown me
He didn't help, he didn't care
I looked for Satan and found him there
Sprawled on silk he'd rip and tear
Trying to impress
The moon rose up with sinner's fear
The devil took your soul from here
Cast it out away from me
And silently, I drowned
