No warning, my sea had gone quiet I was there, but not prepared to brush with the terrible creature I had found She invoked my fear Now, caught in the height of my voyage I looked into the sea and focused In my own reflection, what I saw How I felt betrayed In the gloom, ruby eyes watched me from behind a mask With a face just like mine Waiting for my consent Such a culling could mean my end Trust and certainty, both guiding into the grave A foolish inquiry I tested the weight of my anchors I'd survive So, down I climbed What wonder could hide in that spiral Should I fail, it would mean more shame Was it pride? Was it greed that lead me to such poor accord? In the jaws of the beast, would I still feel the same? All my life, I'd been robbed of all my dignity But now, I was the rogue who would return it back Such a culling could mean my end Trust and certainty, both guiding into the grave A foolish inquiry She hanged, she lingered until I dropped my gaze Her roar, what thunder to haunt my every dream Such corruption leaked into my sea In my confusion, she broke through the fence O' she was patient and sat on my line A turning of tide Was she the prey or the hunter? O' I had believed me the hand of a god How I must be insane But the best of us are This madman is bringing home glory and prestige Behind the complex is a man with the soul of a king Or a meal for the beast
