A City in the Sea

The rigid stones make a solid mark on skin that I wear A barren body and an unsure step are all that I bear Under stormy skies, there's no sweetness in the air Salt and sulfur burn wide eyes come along if you dare A seductive siren's call crashes with the wave With a tightening hold the ocean grips my chain If I am dropped from the clouds To a City in the Sea It'd be a hellish end to drown In a cage of debris If I am dropped from the clouds To a City in the Sea It'd be a hellish end to drown In a cage of debris If the aqueous chain slithers around your feet Then declare there is a reskinned drum to beat A whirlpool of wanderers who bask in their own plight They do not follow the fowl's forthright flight All seafarers must abandon what they knew Red waters below the surface good men must eschew If I am dropped from the clouds To a City in the Sea It'd be a hellish end to drown In a cage of debris If I am dropped from the clouds To a City in the Sea It'd be a hellish end to drown In a cage of debris Wings of a bird wipe away the tears of the sky Clouds and atmospheric blue only seem to be so high A constricting typhoon that seizes those who fly It clips the wings of yonder birds to the Deep they dive To cast one's wings would be to expose But the sky does not wait for those afraid to lose If I am dropped from the clouds To a City in the Sea It'd be a hellish end to drown In a cage of debris If I am dropped from the clouds To a City in the Sea It'd be a hellish end to drown In a cage of debris
