Wind and Waves

The spirit of the sea
Wells up inside of me
To breathe life from my heart into my hands
A swirling mystery
Melts all my memories
Dissolving, it all ends where it began
Are we damned lucky
Or are we just the damned?
The wind and waves below
The angel’s flown too low
The ocean starts to glow
There is no compromise
No acting civilized
Down here it’s just silence and the sand
Are we among the stars
Or held in prison bars
Nothing ever goes the way we planned
Are we the slaughter
Or are we just the lamb?
The wind and waves below
The angel’s flown too low
The ocean starts to glow
In the underwater forest
Nature sings a gentle chorus
Starry-eyed reflections of the moon
Whispered tales of better days
The seafloor makes a quiet grave
For memories of a world we left too soon
Shielded from the endless years
Where coral hangs like chandeliers
An open clear abyss of liquid light
We pass on through the prism night
Luminous dust in my eyes
All knowing that the time has come to rise
When does it all end? - The flame of my life
When does it all end? - The arc of our dive
When does it all end? - The fullness of time
Not Today…
The wind and waves below
The angel’s flown too low
The ocean starts to glow
