If I placed a rose in your hand,
Would you make me a ham-sandwich as your return...
Do you know what's it's like to love,
Someone so much you can't believe...
Pirate of the seven seas,
Come I'll break you to your knees...
When turbines seal with their grinding wheel
My sojourn far afield...
Father.
I remember when you took me camping...
When sin enshrouds me like a murk
And rolls against my mind, like waves...
The love I hold is but a dream;
The girl I kiss is but a hope...
Come we upon this dying day
For a friend has gone away...
My ghosts and phantoms, my memories,
They haunt me like my fantasies...
The times we lived together live forever,
For love will hold them fast within my heart...
Now lying here all beat to pulp and red
I do suppose it’s time to join those rows...
When death has stricken all the joy of day
And bled it out in red and golden hue...
