Am I, to say or see

Alone, whether here or there

Away, far from anywhere

Were I, to stay or flee

Away, rather left to be

Alone, love, though I carry

In time, put to rest, I believe

Cold shoulder the weight of the world

Over and under the black of the pearl

Horizon's sun on the rising tide

Walk the plank with my pleasure and pride

Crow in the nest, one leg and one eye

Bow to rest, vow not to beg or to cry

One man alone, one promise, one goal

A sea of thieves to burn one and all

Never give up, never surrender

Am I, to say or see

Alone, whether here or there

Away, far from anywhere

Were I, to stay or flee

Away, rather left to be

Alone, love, though I carry

In time, put to rest, I believe

Breath of a dragon, burning sulfur

Death of a monarch, free to suffer

In a hospital bed lie the brave

Awaiting dust in a church yard grave

So what of the rest of us

God took the best of us

The soul remains, yet her name rings

Sing for the weary, drowning hell's screams

Never give up, never surrender

Am I, to say or see

Alone, whether here or there

Away, far from anywhere

Were I, to stay or flee

Away, rather left to be

Alone, love, though I carry

In time, put to rest, I believe

I believe, discouraging

I receive, resurfacing

I decree, the re-birthing

I refuse, all these empty broken little things

I have made
