I walk this sad lonely stretch of beach, begging for salvation
Desperate waves tickle the shore with pitiful cries of dehydration
Nature's eerily sculpted rock formation outlines the placid horizon
The crippled sun is burning low in the process of arising
Pebbles here have lost their blood to the draining of mediocrity
And the ghosts here all angrily whisper ancient readings of philosophy
Aphrodite casts a glance across the unforgiving waters
On tides of red ride apparitions of bitter love-slain daughters
Wishing wells cast frozen stares from beneath the burning, hostile earth
Blackened roses and letters from you are the only things burning in the hearth
Skin is stretched tight over muscles lean from violent throws of battle
I throw dirt on top of mounds where mangled bones shake and rattle
I walk this sad lonely stretch of beach, begging for salvation
Wind whispers age-old enchantments that lead to the path of damnation
Your face haunts the sky with crimson clouds and blood-soaked teeth
And my world is narrowed down to this sad lonely stretch of beach
