Their Blood Became the Sea

The smell so putrid, it fills my nostrils
Salt water and metallic copper, it was then that I witnessed
A bolt of lightning cracks the sky like a fragile rotting urn
There it was, a sea of blood raging and frothing over
Somehow I knew, Everyone I'd loved was drowning in the distance
I can hear their screams so familiar, gurgling and pleading beneath the crimson waves
This is my fault, I'm the reason everyone suffers, a martyr for the liar
Beneath these seas lies the bodies of the Earth, the righteous and the wicked
I raise my hands up to the sky, a cry that's desperate, lost and astray
The lightning strikes my body leaving me paralyzed
I fall into the ocean and blood fills my lungs
I see the translucent faces of the ones that I once loved
And then as I'm surrounded, I let out a crooked smile, almost in relief
Like a pack of wolves they descend and tear my flesh from me
The weight of my sins, are colossal, un-repentable
My vision goes black as I sink down below
Down below
The flesh of my body, my skin, my limbs, will not ascend
Ripped asunder from the joints between my bones, hell save my soul
