"Buried I Lie"
Buried I lie
Beneath the darken'd seas
Trumpets blaze on some distant shore
But they carry not through these murky depths
---
Buried I lie
Beneath this wav'ring stillness
No light may pierce these sullied waters
Save the flowing tendrils that I cannot grasp
---
The oceans sigh
High and now; in and out
Weaving in such repetition
Their haunting, silver melody
---
If I could only hold these shimm'ring ribbons,
I would wind them all about my neck;
Such a lovely necklace of death
And thusly I would dangle there
Upon the happiness not mine to touch
