Submerged

And love is like a river of
Bringing streams of life-blood
But when it's stopped and over-flows
There it births destruction

And through the floods of rushings
Into the spinning drop
Upon the waves and gushing
Explodes above the top

And love is like a river of
Bringing streams of life-blood
But when it's stopped and over-flows
There it births destruction

Below the crushing sinking
Into the darkened deep
Within the brooding tensing
The creeping frozen sleep

And love is like a river of
Bringing streams of life-blood
But when it's stopped and over-flows
There it births destruction

Dreaming slips beneath
Hope is lost to the flow
The flooding of wanting
Asunder, confronting
Everything now submerged

And love is like a river of
Bringing streams of life-blood
But when it's stopped and over-flows
There it births destruction

Grasping at twisted missings
In gasping, rollings falls
In choking, spoken pleadings
Of desperate mourning calls

And love is like a river of
Bringing streams of life-blood
But when it's stopped and over-flows
There it births destruction

Dreaming slips beneath
Hope is lost to the flow
The flooding of wanting
Asunder, confronting
Everything now submerged
