(A Sleep) In A Watery Red

Night's fallen, flesh's calling spilling in the flood some tears of blood and agony There on the beach lying wasting and staining the sands of time indifferently Stranded on the shores of life The fish's kiss - it still remains unanswered [Chorus] Bathing in silence, yearning to swim On a calm and quiet ocean Urging to sin or to breathe with no motion While hearing the sound of sweet violence Torch-bearer's burned wings firing all the arrows in a broken fantasy Star's fallen, sand-crawling Dropping just like jetsam from a lonely ship at sea Stranded on the shores of life The fish's kiss - it still remains unanswered [Chorus] Until the day's end's a bitter wet bed seeking a soft place for a rest of my head Tender the arms which embrace the brave I am fallen asleep in a watery red. [Chorus]
