A plead for silence I have gifted.

What trouble my life has been

Upon my shores, downfall is found

 

From the horizon beyond

My sight doesn’t stray

 

All people seek me

My melody they cannot resist

 

A voice so sweet

I’ve known it my whole life

 

I can no more deny my song

Than a man can deny his hunger

 

In my chest it resonates

A mere captive I am

 

Standing on living deck

I am summoned

 

Beneath my feet, my men are buried

Their forgiveness I’ll beg for

 

I exist for this reason

To hum the notes that tighten my throat

 

I sing into the wind

My wail it carries as song

 

I go deep into the water,

On the days the melody consumes me

 

My treasure, my echoing treasure

Upon your shores I finally land.

 

My fight leaves me, my song free and loose

On the shores I wait, hungry for destiny
